Photo of a seated bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a leopard-print yellow headband, wearing a rust-red robe and multiple rudraksha malas with a gold chain, seated barefoot on a silver-framed throne with red velvet cushions. Before him a man in white dhoti kneels with hands folded, head bowed, while the seated figure's hand rests on his head. Two women in saffron-orange drapes with white tilak markings stand behind and beside, one pouring water or liquid from above onto the kneeling man's head. A gold lion carving and gold arch frame the background, and a striped cloth covers the floor. The seated man appears to be a person, identified by dreadlocks, leopard headband, rudraksha malas and gold necklace; the scene shows a blessing or abhishekam-style rite.
