Photo of a seated man in a rust-red robe and gold-toned shawl with a long brown beaded necklace, performing a blessing by pressing his thumb to the forehead of a man in a white dhoti and white shirt who has his palms joined. Behind them stands a golden deity murti or throne-like figure draped in orange cloth and decorated with a garland of white, green and red flowers. A red velvet curtain hangs at the left. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but this is appearance-based only and uncertain.
