A photograph of a ceremonial blessing at a convention. A figure in a white turban and white robes, seen from the side in the foreground with a white and pink flower garland, presses a hand to the forehead of a kneeling young man in white with a rudraksha mala. A bearded man in white and an orange shawl stands behind, with several other men in white clothes and orange shawls around them. Flower petals lie on a red cloth at the lower right, and a camera operator is visible at the top left. The young man has closed eyes and a smile. The turbaned figure shows no distinctive presentation cues beyond white ritual dress and a turban, so the identity is uncertain.
