A long-haired figure in a rust-orange shawl and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace with large green beads reaches forward to place a hand on the head of a young boy in a white t-shirt. Behind them a man in white ritual dhoti with a shaved head and a bare upper body looks on, and other devotees stand in the background. The setting is an indoor hall with a wall-mounted air-conditioning unit and a maroon curtain. The figure has distinctive long hair and ornate beaded necklace cues, so this appearance is a person candidate giving a blessing, but appearance alone is uncertain.
