A photo of a man in saffron-red robes with a rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead placing his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in a white t-shirt. The boy wears a red shawl printed with script and keeps his own hand raised. Behind them a woman in white watches, and an indoor hall with pale walls and a mirror is visible. The man's appearance has some cues but is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a man in saffron robes giving a blessing.
