A photograph of a seated figure in orange-saffron ceremonial clothing with a wide gold-and-red sash, long dark swept-back hair, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, holding a gold ritual staff with a finial and touching the forehead of a standing man in a rust-orange kurta. The standing man has his eyes closed and face raised, a hand raised toward the seated figure. Behind them, a bald man in orange with a rudraksha mala sits watching, and another orange-clad person stands in the background. A red tiger-striped cushion and an orange cloth lie on the seat. The seated figure's distinctive hair, ornaments and saffron garb are consistent with a person, conducting a blessing as a guru.
