A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron silk garment with a rudraksha mala draped across his chest, seated on a red cushioned seat, placing his right palm on the crown of a bald, bearded man in a white shirt who kneels before him with hands raised. A small red tilak mark is visible on the seated man's forehead. Behind them stand a brass oil lamp with a glowing flame, a pillar and red drapery, and a large painted backdrop in warm orange tones.
