Photograph of a seated figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark swept-back hair, extending a hand toward a bearded man in a cream kurta. Behind them a man in white with orange shawl and beaded necklace wears thin-framed glasses and a forehead mark, and a person in a yellow garment and white top stands near a white-draped table. Strands of red and white flowers hang at the top right beside a deep red curtain. The bearded man and others in the crowd lean in during what appears to be a blessing or darshan exchange.
