A photograph of a seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair wearing a loose saffron-orange wrap over bare shoulders and chest, with strands of rudraksha-style beads around the neck. He raises his right hand over the head of a man in a white shirt who kneels before him with eyes closed, appearing to receive a blessing. Behind them stands a bald man in white, and a brass lamp stand with a lit flame and a tall ornate gold-and-red backdrop frame the scene. A microphone on a stand and camera tripods are visible on the left. The setting resembles a satsang or darshan gathering.
