A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red robe with a gold-bordered saffron-orange sash, wearing layered gold beaded necklaces and bangles and a white horizontal forehead mark, sitting on a red-upholstered seat before a golden lion-head statue. The seated figure extends both hands palm-down over the head of a young man in a red t-shirt who kneels and bows forward. Behind them a woman in a white dress with a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded, and to the right two people in rust-red robes with orange sashes stand near a red cloth-covered platform. A golden tray and a small brass item sit on the red cloth. Appears to be a blessing moment during a ritual, with a wall air-conditioner and wooden lattice in the background.
