A photograph of a seated devotee in white kurta with a rudraksha mala having his forehead touched by a man in a white turban and bare upper body with a multicoloured flower garland, in a hall with standing onlookers in white and saffron, and a camera operator at left. The turbaned man has long hair and a shawl-like wrap; his cues are partially visible, so his identity is uncertain and he is described by role only. Background shows a blue cooler and a red platform.
