A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red robe receiving a blessing on the head. A man in a white shirt leans forward from the left, his hands pressed to the seated figure's head in a gesture of blessing. The seated figure wears a rudraksha-free orange garment and sits before an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork against a painted backdrop of trees. At right, an older woman in a patterned sari with a gold necklace watches with hands folded near the chest. Appearance is insufficient to establish the seated figure's identity, so the role is described as a devotee receiving blessing.
