A photograph taken at an indoor evening session with dim, warm lighting. In the foreground a man in a light blue-and-white striped shirt stands with eyes closed while a person in an orange robe with a red-and-gold shawl touches his forehead with one hand. Beside them a young woman with long brown hair in a brown top raises her palm toward the man's face, as if receiving blessing. Behind them, standing figures in white and a person in a light blue-striped shirt watch, with orange flowers and green ferns at the right edge. The orange-robed figure with long dark hair is a person by the presentation cues of long hair, saffron clothing and red-gold shawl, but the image is not clear enough to confirm.

Another person in a white top sits beside her with hands raised, and a few onlookers stand softly blurred in the background.
