A photograph of a ritual blessing. A bare-chested man with long dark hair, wearing a red-orange headband with gold embroidery, a red-orange cloth wrap and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, places his right palm on the head of an older man with white hair and a moustache. The older man wears a white kurta and an orange-red shawl with a dark pattern and holds a small bowl. Behind them stand a silver staff, a peacock-feather fan and a golden deity figure on the left. The background shows a framed colourful textile panel. Swamiji (probable): the bare-chested man with long hair, red-orange wrap and mala performs the blessing as the presiding figure.
