A photograph of a devotional greeting in an indoor hall with a gilded throne and hanging colourful lanterns behind. A smiling person in a rust-brown dhoti-style wrap with a thick gold garland and a large gold pendant places a hand on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows with palms pressed together. Another man in white stands at left with hands folded in namaste. Behind them a woman in an orange-red sari stands near the stairs, and a golden ornate shrine backdrop with decorative arches is visible. The smiling figure's cues are ceremonial gold necklaces and rust-brown saffron-toned clothing, but no clear distinctive identifiers establish identity from appearance, so the role is recorded as a person giving blessing.
