Indoor photo in a pale peach room of a line of devotees receiving blessings. A figure in an orange turban, yellow-green dhoti and orange shawl with rudraksha beads extends a hand toward a man's head. Beside them, a shaved-headed man in white ritual cloth stands with back to the camera. On the right, a grey-haired man in an orange shawl holds a red fruit and a small book, while other men in white and light shirts stand with palms pressed together. A framed picture hangs on the wall behind. The turbaned figure does not qualify as a distinctive a person candidate beyond the turban and orange-yellow attire, so identity is left unsure.
