A close photograph of a man in a white shirt with short black hair and a moustache, receiving a blessing as a hand in a saffron-orange sleeve presses on his forehead. Behind him stands a figure in orange clothing with a rudraksha mala, and a second figure with long dark matted hair decorated with pink flower petals and a headdress of green foliage and yellow fruit. A red-and-white patterned garland lies across the lower right. Another orange-clad figure is partly visible at the top, and a hand holds a fruit at the left edge. The setting appears to be a ritual blessing or puja.
