A photograph of a seated figure in an orange sleeveless robe and a yellow-and-green flower garland, with long dark hair swept back, placing a hand on the head of a man in white shirt and white dhoti who bends forward with eyeglasses and a rudraksha mala. A woman in a green sari stands behind, and an elderly woman in glasses and a red bindi watches. Red bowls of fruit sit on a white table, and a patterned red-and-blue carpet covers the floor. The seated figure matches Swamiji (probable) by long swept-back hair, saffron robe and a flower garland, while the blessing act is the visible action.
