A seated man with long, swept-back black hair, a white vibhuti line on his forehead, multiple rudraksha malas and a beaded bracelet wears a white dhoti-style garment with a red and gold border, and rests on a red tiger-striped throne-like seat. He smiles while placing his hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in a yellow-and-white checked shirt, who raises one palm in front of him. Another person is partially visible at the lower right, and a window and wall-mounted air conditioner appear behind. The seated man matches the swamiji appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial dress, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) giving a blessing to a devotee.
