A photograph of a ritual blessing in an indoor hall. A figure in a saffron-orange dhoti with a long rudraksha mala and white vibhuti marks on the forehead extends a hand to touch the head of a man in a white kurta, who stands with palms raised in a gesture of reception; a visitor badge hangs from his shirt. Behind them a woman in orange sits holding a rudraksha mala, and men in white shirts and grey trousers stand watching. In the foreground a gold ceremonial object is visible, and red draping and garlands frame the scene.
