A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha mala beads and a gold necklace, sitting on an ornate gold-carved throne with red velvet cushions. He extends his arm toward a young child in a dark purple outfit who reaches up toward him. A gold oil lamp stands at right beside a fruit basket on a gold-carved table, and a white fan is behind. A large red-lettered banner behind reads partially as 'Bliss Prog'. Foreground shows a person in jeans and a small partially visible figure at lower right. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala are the qualifying cues, and he is presiding from the throne in a satsang setting.
