A photograph of a man in a rust-orange turban and orange-red robe with long dark hair and rudraksha mala necklaces, smiling as he touches the forehead of a seated person with shaved grey hair who wears an orange shawl printed with text. Both wear rudraksha bracelets. Behind them is a sparkling purple and pink backdrop, and a white ornamental metal stand with a curved shape stands at left.

A leopard-print cushion lies at bottom right, and a red fabric drapes behind.
