A devotee in a dark green collared shirt stands before a deep red draped cloth, eyes closed, head tilted back while a bare-chested man in an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulder presses his palm firmly on the devotee's forehead. The blessing man wears a gold chain necklace and gold bangles, and his hair is pulled into a bun. The devotee wears a red thread bracelet on his wrist and holds his other hand out to the side in a receptive gesture. The scene resembles a darshan blessing, with the pictured man's appearance consistent with a person identity by his saffron shawl, gold necklace and bare-chested presentation, though his face is not clearly visible.
