Photograph of a devotee in a white kurta with a red-and-white beaded mala and an orange-red shawl, having his forehead touched by the raised hand of a bare-chested figure with long dark hair wound up in a topknot adorned with rudraksha beads, a pink and white flower garland, and gold bangles and earrings. The bare-chested figure, who appears to be a sculpted or costumed figure rather than a clearly identifiable living person, is in front of a red drape backdrop; the devotee's expression is calm and smiling. No clear identification of a person is possible from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role and attire only.

Two more people in white robes stand blurred in the background near golden ornaments.
