A photograph of a robed figure in red-orange saffron garments with bare upper arm, reaching out to place a hand on the forehead of a young man in a white kurta with a red-orange scarf draped around his neck. The young man has his eyes closed and palms pressed together in respect. Behind them is a silver ceremonial staff and a parked grey vehicle, with a woman in the background on the right. Appearance alone does not establish who the robed figure is, so the identity is left uncertain.
