A photo of a shaved-headed?-no: a man with long hair tied back in a bun and a white tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange-brown garment with gold border and a beaded necklace, places his right palm on the head of a young man in a white kurta who stands with eyes closed and hands folded near his chest. Behind them a golden deity murti or ornament is visible at left, and a woman in white with a rudraksha-style mala watches at right. The gesture suggests a blessing or darshan.
