A photograph of a devotional blessing in a plain hall with red and navy curtains. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes places a hand on the head of a young man in a white t-shirt and grey shorts, who bows with his hands raised and eyes closed. Beside them a woman in an orange and white sari with a long braid holds his hand. Behind them stands a woman in white. In the foreground a standing man in orange robes is partly visible, and a brass tray holds flower petals, a silver dish, and a small brass lamp. A carved golden throne-like seat and a potted plant stand nearby. The seated figure in orange has a distinctive appearance but no clear identifying cues, so identity is uncertain.
