A photograph of a shaven-headed? no — a man with hair pulled into a bun, wearing saffron-orange robes, a beaded rudraksha-style necklace and a red thread on his wrist, places his right palm on the forehead of an elderly white-haired man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who stands with hands joined in namaste. The saffron-clad man holds a white paper and a small peacock-feather fan with a decorated handle. Behind them is a framed portrait of a saffron-turbaned figure, a gold-coloured ornate frame and golden vessels in the foreground. Two other people in white and orange-red garments are partly visible at the right. The setting resembles a satsang or blessing gathering on a red patterned mat.
