A photograph of an indoor hall where a man in an orange sleeveless sadhu-style garment and a hair bun places his right palm on the forehead of a young male devotee in a white short-sleeved shirt with a dark mala around his neck. The devotee has his eyes closed and his hands raised near his face. Beside them a young woman in a white dress with a light shawl and a red mark on her forehead looks on attentively. Behind them other people in white and yellow clothing stand in the room, and a tray of red apples and wrapped sweets sits at left. Hanging cloth decorations and a dark red curtain are visible at the top. The orange-clad man is an appearance-based candidate only, and his features are not visible enough to confirm.
