A photograph of a seated man in orange robes with long swept-back black hair on a red-cushioned golden throne, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white trousers. The kneeling man holds the seated figure's hands and bows his head. Behind them, several men in white and orange shawls watch, one with a shaved head and an orange robe. A tray with bananas, flowers and currency notes sits on white boxes in front of the throne. Based on the robes, long hair and throne, the seated figure is Swamiji (probable), giving blessings to a devotee. Several onlookers stand in the background.
