A photograph of a seated sannyasi in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair resting his hand on the head of a man in a white shirt and dark-rimmed glasses who sits in a wheelchair. The wheelchair-bound devotee leans forward and holds the seated figure's bare foot, which rests on a red cushion on a gold-decorated base. The saffron-clad figure sits on an ornate gold throne with red and pink flower garlands. Behind them hang green and white garland strands with yellow marigold chains. A standing attendant in white clothing and a white cloth on his shoulder stands at the left, placing a hand on the wheelchair user's shoulder. The scene suggests a blessing or padapuja-style honour, with the throne, garlands and saffron robes forming the central visual elements.
