A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair tied in a bun with a white flower, bare-shouldered and wearing a yellow and black tiger-striped garment with a beaded white necklace and brown waist belt, reaching out to place a palm on the forehead of a standing man. The standing man, with grey hair, wears white clothes and an orange cloth draped over one shoulder, his hands pressed together in namaste. Behind them are a red-trimmed draped cloth, a wall air conditioner, a fan, and a tray with puja items at lower left, with a head of another person in the foreground. Two people are visible physically. The seated figure's appearance shows several cues, including long swept-back hair, a bare-chested form and ornate adornments, so this is a person. The person receiving the blessing is a devotee.
