A photograph of a man with long dreadlocked hair wearing a crescent moon ornament and a headpiece of rudraksha beads, with white tripundra marks on his forehead and a rust-orange wrap over his shoulder, reaching out to touch the forehead of a kneeling person with dreadlocks in a teal-green top decorated with rudraksha beads. Behind them, a woman in an orange sari and other people stand in a hall with silver ritual vessels and a dark deity murti on a stand. The setting appears to be a ceremonial blessing or darshan.
