A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron garment with a long rudraksha mala draped over the shoulder, long dark hair swept back, extending a hand to press onto the forehead of a young man in a blue-and-white checked short-sleeved shirt who leans back with eyes closed. Behind them a deity murti is decorated with yellow and orange garlands, and a man in white with a tilak and rudraksha mala looks on at right. The figure's face is not clearly visible from this angle and the page does not confirm the person's identity, so no identification is made.
