A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on a throne covered with a leopard-print cushion, with an ornate silver embossed backdrop behind him. He wears a white and green-red-yellow flower garland, has a red tilak on his forehead and a red wristband, and smiles while extending his right hand toward the head of a person in the foreground. That person, seen from behind with dark hair and wearing an orange shawl, receives the blessing. A leopard-print cloth hangs at the left edge and a blue stage light glows at upper right. The setting suggests a darshan or blessing moment on stage.
