A photograph from a convention setting in which a long-haired man with a red bindi on his forehead and a yellow-white cloth over his shoulder reaches out to touch the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and a bindi. The seated man sits with his eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, standing devotees in white kurta-style clothes, one wearing an orange shawl and another a dark pendant necklace, stand with hands folded. A blue cooler and a fan are visible at the right edge. The image is a candid close-up of a blessing or touching-the-forehead gesture.
