A photograph of a seated devotee with closed eyes and palms pressed together in namaskar, receiving a blessing as a long-haired ascetic in an orange-red robe and red sleeveless top places his right hand on the devotee's forehead. The devotee has grey hair, a bare upper body, an ivory dhoti, and a long strand of brown beads with a gold necklace. Behind them, two people in saffron-orange garments stand near a deep red curtain, and a wooden door is visible. The setting resembles an ashram hall during darshan.
