A photograph of a devotional blessing at an indoor ashram hall. A man with grey hair, a grey moustache and a vibhuti and kumkum mark on his forehead, wearing a white shirt, presses his palms together and smiles. A figure in an orange-saffron garment with a gold border, gold necklace and beaded bangles on the arm places a hand on his head in blessing. Other people in white clothes stand behind, with a gold deity murti and red-and-maroon drapes in the background. The figure's face and identity are not established, so the a person value is unsure; no printed name is visible on the scene itself.
