A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron cloth and a garland of yellow-green fruit smiling as he places both hands on the head of a shorter man with grey hair, who wears a white kurta with an orange shawl and an identification badge. Behind them, red curtains hang and several women and girls in salwar-kameez and dupatta stand watching. The taller man's long, swept-back hair and saffron clothing with a fruit garland match the appearance cues for a person, who here appears to be blessing the devotee in a ritual touch.
