A seated figure in an orange saffron garment and orange turban, with a long red and yellow flower garland and dark rudraksha beads, extends his arm to touch the forehead of a man in a lavender shirt and rudraksha mala who stands with his eyes closed and palms raised, a blessing gesture. Behind them women in yellow and white saris and other attendees watch in a bright indoor hall. The orange-clad figure has long swept-back hair and appears to be a person in a blessing role, while the recipient is a devotee. Printed copyright text overlays the lower right corner.
