A photograph of a ritual blessing in a temple-style room. A figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a peacock-feather fan touches the forehead of a man in a white t-shirt and orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together. The blessing figure is smiling; a gold lion-headed throne or seat and a red cloth are visible behind. A small white paper is held in the blessing figure's other hand, and a framed picture hangs on the wall.

Beside them stand gold lion-headed armrests holding a peacock-feather fan, a silver staff, and a framed painting on a pale wall. Two people are visible: the blessing figure and the bowing devotee, with a third partially visible at the far right edge.

The robed figure is seated before golden lion-headed armrests and a silver-tipped staff, with a peacock-feather fan and a framed picture on the wall behind. The blessing gesture suggests a darshan or padapuja moment. Swamiji (probable) is the robed figure; the cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, and the event page places him at this satsang. Two physical people are visible.2014-05-12May 13 20142014-05-13
