The blessing figure smiles softly and wears a red-brown bead bracelet, gold bangles and a small bindi. Behind them, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with white tripundra marks and a gold necklace stands near a white-draped setting with orange and yellow banners. The blessing figure's distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and layered malas make him a probable Swamiji, performing a blessing.

The figure's right arm is raised with the palm resting on the crown of a man in a white shirt whose head is bowed.

He sits on a red patterned cushion and extends his right hand toward the forehead of a younger man in a white kurta with long dark hair, who raises his hands in response. A small folded towel lies on the cushion beside him. Another person sits partly visible at the lower right, and a standing figure is faintly visible at the far right edge. A white wall, window and pedestal fan form the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron clothing match the page's claim, so this is an in-person candidate.2013-07-17May 05 20132013-05-05May 15 20122012-05-15
