A man in an orange turban and saffron-red shawl, with gold-and-green beaded bands on a long cylindrical staff, stands at the front of an indoor hall and places his right hand on the head of a young man in a green shirt and dark track pants. That young man leans forward with hands pressed in prayer and rests on crutches. He holds a sheaf of papers. Around them, devotees stand with palms joined, including a bald man in orange robes and rudraksha beads to the left and white-clad men in the background. Red curtains, a backdrop with a painted deity scene and a projection screen with a portrait appear behind them.
