A photograph of a seated, bare-chested figure with long dreadlocked hair, wearing a rust-brown wrap and a rust-orange turban, extending his right arm to touch the head of a bowed young man in a white shirt with an orange shawl. Gold-wrapped items and a leopard-print seat are at the lower left. Around them, men in white shirts and orange or saffron shawls stand and watch, and a man in a white shirt on the right holds his hands together. Another man at the left edge holds a phone up to record. The setting is a plain room with pink-curtained windows and a red carpet. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, rust turban and bare chest give a person cues, consistent with the page, while the blessing scene is an in-person event.
