A standing man in a rust-orange dhoti with a gold-edged wrap and a long gold-bead necklace leans forward and places his hand on the head of a bald, kneeling man in an orange robe and orange shawl. The kneeling man has his palms pressed together in namaste and his head bowed. They are seated in a plain room with cream sofas, a white wall and a low wooden table holding a small book, steel tumblers and a bowl. The standing man's long dark hair and ornate gold necklace are visible, and he is smiling broadly.
