A photograph of a man in a white turban and cream dhoti-style garment, with a multicolored flower garland over his shoulders and a gold chain, pressing his fingers to the forehead of a seated devotee in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and red tilak. The devotee has his eyes closed and hands folded in anjali. Behind them, a cameraman films, and other men in white and light green shirts stand close by, with a floor fan and floral decorations at the left edge. The man giving the blessing has long hair and appears to be the person the page describes as a person; the appearance cues are a turban, long hair, a gold necklace and a garland, which only partly support that label.
