A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a pink and white flower garland, gold bangles and a dark garment, pressing his palm to the forehead of a smiling devotee in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. Beside them a woman with dark hair in a white patterned top and red lanyard holds her head as a blessing is given. A gold-colored object is in the foreground and a woman in a white sari with red border stands in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang or darshan with blessing, and the central figure's appearance is uncertain in relation to the page's reference to a person.
