A photograph set in a high mountain valley with green grass, scattered rocks and stone cairns, and a snow-capped peak with rocky slopes behind. A man in a blue and black puffer jacket and sunglasses stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, bowing his head while a robed figure in bright orange, wearing an orange turban and orange veil, places a hand on his forehead in blessing. The blessing figure also wears an orange fleece top and a golden-trimmed orange shawl, and holds a trident on the ground beside him. The pair sit on a dark blue mat. Evaluating the cues of long swept-back hair absent, orange turban and saffron clothing present with a trident, the robed figure is a person candidate in a blessing role, seated outdoors rather than on a throne.
