A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, rudraksha beaded necklaces and a saffron-red shawl with gold border raises one hand in blessing and smiles broadly; Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas. A devotee in a white shirt and rudraksha mala stands bowing with palms pressed together and receives the blessing, while another man in cream kurta has a hand on his shoulder. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts stand near a metal barrier, a deity photo appears on a stage backdrop, and a camera is on a tripod at right.

A photograph of an indoor ashram hall where a smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a tall ornate necklace with rudraksha malas places his hand on the head of a blond man in white clothes with a saffron shawl. The saffron-clad man has long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and gold ornaments on his arms. Around them, devotees in white and saffron stand with palms pressed together in namaste, and a woman in the background joins in. A red banner and a painted temple backdrop are visible on the wall.
