A photograph of a seated man in an orange turban, orange shawl and red and yellow marigold garland placing his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt, who faces away from the camera. The seated man wears a red tilak mark and a gold ornament on his turban, and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Another hand rests on the white-shirted man's shoulder. Red and pink string lights and a floral arrangement frame the scene. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in orange turban, orange shawl, rudraksha-style red beaded garland and long swept-back hair, giving a blessing.
