A photograph at an outdoor tent event. A long-haired figure in a cream and gold-bordered white garment with heavy gold necklaces places a hand on the head of a kneeling elderly man in a white shirt, who bows with hands joined. Behind them, several men in saffron-orange robes with gold beaded necklaces stand watching, and a cameraman with a video camera is visible. A yellow and orange floral arrangement lies at the foot of a cushioned seat. Probable Swamiji appearance: the central figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a cream and gold garment, and is giving blessing to a devotee. Sheltered white canopy, marigold garlands and flower offerings surround the scene. Visible people: about ten.
