A photograph of a man with short light hair and a white shirt, eyes closed and head bowed, receiving a blessing as a robed figure in orange-saffron clothing places a hand on his forehead. Behind him, several men in white shirts stand in a dim hall, and a wooden podium or box is visible in the lower right. The orange-robed figure's face is cropped out of frame, so the appearance-based identity cannot be confirmed from this image alone.
