A photograph of a seated man with closed eyes receiving a blessing at close range. He wears a white vertical tilak on his forehead, long dreadlocked hair falling past his shoulders, and a full beard. He is bare-chested, draped in a rust-red cloth, and wears a dense necklace of dark rudraksha beads with a ceremonial gold pendant and gold chain. In the foreground at left, a shaved-headed man in a white garment with his back to the camera touches the seated man's head. Behind them is an ornate silver-toned carved backdrop with floral scrollwork, and a microphone on a cable is visible at right.
