Indoor photo at a convention. A figure with long, swept-back dark hair, a white shawl-like garment, a white flower garland, and a peacock-feather and gem ornament at the chest reaches to touch the forehead of a seated man with closed eyes, a moustache, a white kurta, and red and dark rudraksha malas. Behind them, a standing man in white has hands folded in namaskar, and a white electric fan is visible. The scene suggests a blessing gesture. The hair, shawl and ornaments are a qualifying appearance cue for a person, so he is described as the person touching the forehead.
