A seated man in a red sleeveless top and orange cloth, with long swept-back dark hair and a white forehead mark, extends his hand over the head of a devotee in a white shirt and garland. Around him, devotees in white clothes and flower garlands crowd close, and a woman in a light blue blouse bends low to touch his feet. Others stand behind in white and saffron garments, and a woman in a red blouse kneels at the lower right. The scene suggests a darshan and blessing gathering, with a pink cloth on the floor and a white-dressed crowd filling the frame. The seated man shows appearance cues of the page subject, with long swept-back hair, saffron cloth and red top, so he is described as a person in this photograph.
