A seated man in a rust-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair, a beard, a red forehead mark, layered rudraksha malas, a large ornate gold pendant and a silver OM pendant sits on a gold-carved throne, one hand raised to the forehead of a kneeling, bare-chested devotee in a white dhoti with a gold border who presses his palms together.

The seated figure matches the page's Swamiji presence claim through a turban, rudraksha malas, saffron robe and ceremonial gold necklace, so he is described as Swamiji (probable). Behind him is a leopard-print cushion, red drapes, silver staffs and a brass urn at left, with a second person in orange at the left edge. The kneeling man wears a white sacred thread. The image is a photo of a ritual blessing moment.2018-03-24A seated man in an orange-brown robe and a long rudraksha mala with gold bead spacers reaches toward the forehead of a man in a white shirt, who faces upward with eyes closed and hands raised in a blessing gesture. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and wears a small red bindi, matching the Swamiji (probable) candidate with long hair, saffron-toned clothing and rudraksha cues. Two to three people are visible.2013-07-03
