A photograph of an outdoor evening event under a yellow-trimmed canopy. A man seated on the left wears a white turban and white dhoti with gold borders, a gold chain, and a red tilak on his forehead; he smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt. Other men in white stand and sit behind, and an orange-robed man sits on the right. A camera on a tripod stands in the background, with a red carpet and scattered flower petals on the ground. The page describes a Salem conference, but the seated man's appearance is not clearly identifiable as a person, so the role is given as a seated figure blessing a devotee.
