The scene reads as a personal blessing or darshan during a program.2011-07-08A photograph of a man with hair tied in a bun, bare-shouldered and wearing a red wrap with a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, bowing his head toward a boy in a red polo shirt who leans forward with his head touching the man's head.
