A bare-chested man in a saffron-orange dhoti with long swept-back hair, white tripundra markings on his forehead and a long rudraksha-style bead mala with gold ornaments blesses a kneeling man in a white shirt, placing his hand on the devotee's head. The devotee has his palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, another saffron-robed man stands, and several people in white and blue saris, and white dhotis with white ash markings on their arms, stand with hands folded. A tray of fruit, sweets and offerings lies in the foreground. Colourful striped decorative hangings and projection screens are visible in the hall behind them.
