A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron shawl and long flowing dark hair, wearing a white and yellow flower garland and rudraksha mala, placing his hands on the heads of two devotees kneeling before him. One devotee is a man in a peach shirt and glasses; the other is a woman with dark hair in a purple sari. A standing man in white clothes and an orange cloth watches behind them. A small fan, a table, and a woven basket with photographs sit at the left. The swami-like figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate performing a blessing, not verifiably identified.
