A photograph of an indoor ceremony. A smiling man with long dark hair, a red tilak mark on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron shawl over bare shoulders and a white and pink flower garland, places his right palm on the head of a young boy in a white collared shirt who bows forward. Behind them a red curtain hangs, a second man in orange cloth is partly visible, and palm fronds and white cloth are visible in the background. The man in orange with long hair and garland is a probable Swamiji candidate based on the long swept hair, saffron clothing, garland and bare-shouldered adornment, shown blessing the boy in a darshan setting.
