A photograph of a seated man in an orange robe with a red flower garland and long dark hair tied back, sitting on a white-draped raised seat. A man in white clothes kneels before him, his head bowed while the seated man's hands rest on his head in a blessing gesture. Behind them stands a woman in a white and yellow sari holding a microphone and a woman in cream sari, both looking down. To the left a framed devotional picture of several figures in red and white is decorated with a white flower garland on an easel. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with red curtains. Appearance-based cues for the seated man in orange with long hair and a garland are probable, so he is labelled a person as a person giving blessing.
