A woman in an orange-brown robe with a long dark braid and a reddish-orange rudraksha mala sits on a red velvet seat and presses both palms to the forehead of a man with short white hair in a striped collared shirt and a lanyard. A seated man in a white dhoti with a red tilak and beaded necklace has his eyes closed behind them. Standing people in white shirts with orange lanyards watch in the background. Fruit and a tray of sweets sit on the floor, and a wall-mounted air conditioner is visible behind them. The woman is not a recognizable candidate for a person by these cues alone, so no identity claim is made here.
