A photograph of a ritual blessing in a leafy decorated setting. A woman in an orange-red headwrap and orange-red sari with rudraksha beads on her neck and wrists sits at left, her hand raised and placed on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style clothing. Fresh green leaves and potted plants frame the scene. In front, a wooden tray holds oranges, apples or red fruit, sweets and rudraksha malas. Behind them, several women in orange and white garments stand with folded hands, one wearing rudraksha mala garlands. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance, so the role-based description is used.
