A photo of a ceremonial exchange in a red-draped hall. On the right, a man in an orange-red turban, rudraksha mala, layered gold necklaces and gold armbands sits on a throne, smiling, holding an open book or palm-leaf scripture. Greenery and a gold-framed panel frame him. In the centre, a man in a white dhoti with rudraksha beads and tilak stands and watches. On the left, a man in a striped shirt and glasses leans in to receive or hand over an item, and a camera on a tripod stands behind them. Four people are visible, plus a partial figure at lower centre.

The kneeling man has his hands together, receiving the blessing.
