A photograph of a devotional blessing at an indoor event. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a long rudraksha mala and a gold-toned necklace stands center, smiling, with his palm raised above the head of a young man in a blue shirt who has his hands pressed together in namaskar. Beside him, a bare-headed priest in an orange-and-gold shawl with a red tilak and gold necklace stands near the line. An older man in white on the left also folds his hands in prayer. Several other people in white and light clothing stand in the background, with a yellow-and-blue banner visible at the top. The central figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron robes and mala, consistent with Swamiji (probable) performing a blessing as a sannyasi.
