A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair, a white flower garland and bare chest, placing a hand on the forehead of a seated devotee in a white shirt, during a blessing or energy darshan. Behind them stand people in white dhotis and cream shawls, one with a gold-bordered cloth. Another seated man in a white shirt watches with his head bowed, and a woman in a red garment and gold bangles sits near the devotee. A plastic-wrapped bundle rests on a woven tray at the bottom, and a low red wall with a white sheet stretched across a bench forms the backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is present: the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a flower garland, and is performing the darshan.
