A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a red bindi, placing both palms on the head and forehead of a kneeling woman in a mustard-yellow sari with a long side braid and gold bangles. She holds a small white card or paper. Behind them, other saffron-clad attendees and a man in a white shirt watch; a tray with rudraksha beads and offering leaves sits at lower right, and a yellow garment appears at the top right. The page describes a Bengaluru Adheenam darshan and blessing session; the seated robed man giving the blessing is a person by his long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and bindi, though this is an appearance-based label only.
