A photograph of a seated man in orange robes with a long swept-back hair, a red tilak on his forehead and a dark rudraksha mala draped over his chest, placing his right hand on the forehead of a young man in a light blue checked shirt who kneels before him. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha mala. In the foreground a second person in pale orange clothing bends forward. Behind them stand ornate gold vessels, a gold kalasha and a red and gold metal gate, with greenery visible beyond. The scene suggests a blessing being given.
