In the foreground a man with long, swept-back dark hair, bare-chested apart from a white and gold-bordered shawl, wears a rudraksha mala of large brown beads and places his right palm on the forehead of a seated devotee. The seated man wears a white shirt, brown rudraksha beads and a vibhuti mark, and sits with palms pressed together in namaskar with eyes closed. Behind them, several men in white clothes stand, one wearing an orange scarf and another a white badge. The long hair, distinctive rudraksha mala and shawl are cues for the central figure, but the photo is ambiguous about identity, so the appearance is marked uncertain.

Behind them, several men in white shirts and an orange-saffron shawl stand watching, with a blue cooler box at the right edge.
