A photograph of a shaved-headed?-no: a man with long dark hair tied in a bun, bare-chested under a saffron-orange and gold-bordered shawl, wearing a multi-strand beaded rudraksha-style necklace with gold ornaments and a gold bracelet, places his right hand on the forehead of an older man in a black jacket. The older man has his hands raised in a palm-out gesture and wears a visitor badge on his jacket. Behind them are red curtains, a projection screen and a gold-coloured ritual object in the foreground. The bun-haired figure with a shawl and rudraksha-style beads is a candidate for a person, and the scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment.
