A photograph of a sannyasi in a saffron-orange robe leaning forward to press her forehead against the head of a seated man in a white shirt and wheelchair. The sannyasi, with hair tied in a bun, wears a long rudraksha mala that hangs down past her waist, and a white dressing is taped to her upper arm. The man has closed eyes and short grey hair. Behind them is a pink backdrop with large dark gear and cog graphics, and a small lamp flame glows near the figures; a gold ornament is visible at the left edge. A hand in a gold bracelet reaches in from the lower right. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan. Two people are visible.
