A photograph of a man in a pink and white striped polo shirt and dark trousers standing with his hands pressed to his chest and smiling with eyes lowered. A person in an orange turban and orange sleeveless robe, with long dark hair, reaches forward to touch the man's forehead. Behind them a white-clad attendant stands, and people in white and blue shirts are seated and moving in the background of a white-floored hall with dark red drapes. An orange-clothed figure is visible at the right edge. The orange-robed figure with a turban appears to be a sannyasi giving a blessing; appearance is insufficient to identify them as a person (unsure).
