A photograph of a satsang-style blessing indoors. A man with long dark hair pulled back, a red tilak on his forehead, and a rust-red shawl over bare shoulders presses his palm to the forehead of a woman with long blonde hair who wears a white t-shirt and a red shawl. Behind them stands a large gold-coloured lion-headed or serpent-like ornament, with a gold vessel visible at the lower left and a cream wall sconce above. The man appears to be a person candidate by visible cues of long hair and a red shawl, though his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
