A photograph of a satsang setting where a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak, wearing an orange saffron shawl and a long gold bead necklace, smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in white. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes leans in and holds the sash, while other men in white and orange stand in the background beneath orange and maroon fabric drapes. The scene suggests a blessing being given at a devotional gathering. Swamiji (probable): the seated blessing figure's long hair, saffron shawl and gold bead mala match the page's identification.
