A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair tied in a low bun, wearing an orange-yellow tilak on his forehead, a rust-red shawl over bare shoulders and a large ornate gold necklace of beaded pendants. He places his right hand on the bald head of a kneeling bald man in a white kurta, who wears a rudraksha mala and an orange-and-white shawl, with his palms pressed together in respectful greeting. Behind them stand a silver ceremonial staff and a golden lion-head ornament on the left, with a gold-and-brown backdrop. The seated man appears to be giving a blessing, which fits the Kalpataru darshan context of the page.

The man wears a rudraksha mala and a wristband of beads. Behind them are beige wall panels, a dark speaker and a white screen.
