A photograph of a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing layered gold-coloured beaded necklaces, gold earrings, gold bangles and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, touching the head of a young child held by a woman in a white top with a grey bag. The man holds a sheet of white paper in his other hand. Several people stand behind them in white and grey shirts, and a blurred gold-and-red throne and a hanging red-and-yellow tassel appear in the background, with a camera tripod at right. The scene suggests a blessing of devotees at a satsang hall. Whether this is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
