A photograph of a ceremonial blessing inside a room with red curtains. A long-haired figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and layered ceremonial gold necklaces sits on the left, holding a tall ceremonial staff with a white plume and purple flower; he touches the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with folded hands and a gold wristwatch on the right. Behind them a cameraman in white dhoti and cloth stands at a tripod-mounted video camera, and a red bead bracelet is visible on the blessed man's wrist. Flowers sit at the left edge. The orange-robed figure is a person by appearance cues (long swept hair, orange robes, rudraksha and gold necklaces), shown in person during a blessing.
