A photograph of a standing figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban with a red tilak on the forehead, wearing a long multi-strand silver bead necklace, silver bangles and armbands. He smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a grey top. Around them devotees in white and orange clothing stand with palms pressed together, and an older man with long grey hair and a rudraksha mala watches. A bald man in orange and a white-marked forehead stands at right. A colourful temple pillar and painted decorations appear in the background. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment, and the orange-clad figure is a probable match for a person by appearance cues including the saffron turban and ornate silver jewellery.
