A photograph inside a temple hall with pink-and-red decor. A man in a cream turban, gold-tinted dhoti-style wrap and multiple rudraksha mala necklaces and wrist beads stands with his hand on the forehead of an older man in a white checked shirt, who has white hair and presses his palms together. A younger man in white robes with a rudraksha mala stands at left, and a man in an orange robe holds a tray of apples and beads at right. A child and several other people in white and orange stand behind. The turbaned man appears to be giving a blessing with a small paper packet in hand. The cream turban, ornate beaded jewellery and gold-tinted wrap are the appearance cues for a person; the role is blessing a devotee.
