A seated figure with a shaved head? No: a figure with long dark hair wearing a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, a gold bangle and a maroon-and-gold draped garment places one raised hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl. The recipient stands with palms together at his waist while the officiant holds a folded paper in the other hand. Behind them stand women in white and orange clothing and gold-embroidered draperies, with a golden ornamental panel at left.

A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with gold border and a gold-beaded necklace, long dark hair swept back, extends both palms toward a smiling man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl whose hands are raised in return. The seated figure sits on a red velvet throne-like chair before a dark maroon curtain with gold damask patterns. Behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha mala watches, and other devotees in orange sit at the right edge. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-gold robe match the Swamiji (probable) cues, so this is an in-person ritual blessing moment in a satsang setting.
