A photograph of a ritual blessing on a cruise-style event. A long-haired man with a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, wearing a striped orange-and-black tiger-print garment, a pink, white and green flower garland, gold armlet and bangles, sits on a maroon upholstered seat and extends his hand to touch the forehead of a smiling man in white clothes with an orange shawl. Behind them a sannyasi in orange robes and rudraksha mala holds a camera, and seated devotees in white and orange sit nearby amid green foliage. The central figure matches the page's a person cues (long swept hair, ornate gold jewellery and garland), so he is labelled as a probable identification.
