A photo of a devotional blessing at a satsang. A bald, bearded man in a white kurta with an orange cord and a rudraksha mala with an ID badge stands with eyes closed and one palm raised as a bare-chested figure in an orange-saffron cloth with a gold necklace and a hair bun presses a hand to his forehead. Behind them, a man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands, another man in white with folded hands is at left, and a cameraman with a camera on a tripod is near a red draped backdrop. The bare-chested figure has distinctive visible adornments but the appearance is not enough to confirm an identity, so the figure is described by role only.
