A photograph of two men at close range in a room with a red curtain behind them. On the left, a man with long dark hair, a white forehead mark, a small gold earring, rudraksha mala beads across his chest and on his upper arm, and an orange-red robe, smiles while he raises his palm toward the head of the second man. The second man, seen from behind, has short dark hair, a bare back and a white cloth draped over his shoulder, and his hands are raised toward the first man in a high-five gesture. A leopard-print cloth hangs at the left edge.
