A photograph of a seated devotee in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and folded hands, eyes closed, while a figure in a white turban and a white garment with a colourful floral garland stands before him and touches his forehead with one hand. Behind them, several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand watching, and a man in an orange shawl sits at the right edge. The setting appears to be a hall with a red floor edge. The turban-and-garland figure shows only partial cues, so the identity is uncertain; the seated devotee and onlookers are devotees.
