A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange saffron sleeveless garment, rudraksha beads on his wrists and neck, and a gold-trimmed shawl around his waist, extends his right arm and presses his palm to the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a purple lanyard and badge. The recipient stands with eyes closed and his palms raised in front of him. Behind them, out of focus, several people in white and orange clothing sit or stand.

Rudraksha beads are visible on the robed figure's arm. A plain pale wall and window sit in the background, with a person in red partly visible at right. Appearance-based identification is uncertain, so this figure is described by role as the robed giver of blessing, with the young man as a devotee receiving darshan.2012-04-16Photograph of two men in close indoor contact. The man on the left wears an orange saffron wrap draped over bare shoulders, has his hair tied back in a knot, a small red vermilion mark on his forehead, and a black cord around his neck; he extends his arm to rest his hand on the forehead of the second man. The man on the right wears a white ritual garment and a rudraksha mala around his neck, with his head bowed and eyes closed.
