A photograph of a ritual blessing. A figure with long dark hair and an orange-and-green sari with a bare shoulder places a hand on the forehead of a fair-haired man in a white shirt, who has his eyes closed and hands raised in front of him. The officiant holds a small folded white paper in the other hand, and a red and gold altar with garlands stands behind. Other people in orange and white clothing are visible in the background.
