A seated man with long dark hair, an orange saffron garment and a rudraksha mala with a gold-toned necklace reaches forward with both hands to rest on the head of a kneeling man in a yellow and white striped polo shirt, whose hands are pressed together in front of him. The seated man has a white tilak on his forehead and an orange-brown mark on his upper arm; a basket of red apples sits in the foreground. Women in white and red clothing watch from behind on the right, and a smiling woman with glasses sits at the lower left. The scene reads as a blessing or darshan moment. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala as a distinctive cluster of cues; he is blessing a devotee.
