A photograph of a blessing in an indoor hall. A smiling person in an orange-red turban and orange-saffron shawl, with rudraksha bracelets and a red bindi, lays his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt and glasses who bows forward. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and rudraksha malas stand in the room, a projection screen glows in the background, and a plastic bag of offerings hangs near the bowing man. The appearance of the turbaned figure is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
