A photograph of an indoor hall with a yellow-painted wall and yellow scaffolding overhead. A long-haired man in a loose white cloth wrap places his right hand on the crown of a devotee's head; the devotee, in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and hands folded, bows forward. A floral garland of yellow and white flowers with red and pink accents hangs along the left side, and a white cloth drapes beside it. Standing spectators behind wear white and cream clothing, one woman in a cream sari with a rudraksha mala. A small portrait of an older bearded man hangs on the wall at upper left. The man in white with long hair appears to be a distinctive presenter, but the identification is uncertain.
