A long-haired man in an orange saffron shawl and multiple rudraksha malas, with a white-and-red forehead marking, places his right hand on the crown of a woman's head during a blessing. The woman, with long dark hair and a pink top, leans forward with her hands held out near his arm. Behind them stands a large polished brass oil lamp with a flame, a woven basket with small items, and a dark blue curtain. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, so he is a candidate for Swamiji in person.
