Indoor hall with tiled floor and red-curtained windows. A man in a saffron-orange garment with a rudraksha mala and a long-haired central figure in a brown-orange robe draped with a blue and gold brocade shawl and a pink-and-green flower garland; the central figure has long swept-back hair and a ceremonial gold necklace and is smiling, with a hand extended toward a devotee. A devotee in a white shirt bows with hands folded, head bent low. Several men in saffron dhotis and orange robes with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings stand behind, and a man in white stands at left.

A photograph of an indoor hall where a man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward with his head lowered while a figure in a blue silk shawl with a gold border and a large pink and yellow flower garland places both hands on his head in blessing. The blessing figure has long dark hair swept back, a white forehead mark, and a gold-threaded shawl draped over the shoulders, which are cues consistent with a person, though the face is not used for identification. Behind them, saffron-robed men with rudraksha malas and white forehead marks stand by, a woman in an orange sari with a mala watches, and a man in a blue striped shirt stands at the left edge. Red-curtained alcoves and ceiling lights line the room, and a red and gold backdrop appears at the far right.
