A photograph of a seated bearded man in a rust-orange saffron-toned garment with a bare chest, wearing pink and white flower garlands and a gold chain, touching the forehead of a young man in a white kurta who stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. The seated man sits before an ornate gold carved throne with floral scrollwork, behind a red curtain, with brass bells hanging above. A man's face is partially visible at the lower left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, a beard, saffron-toned garment, flower garlands and a gold necklace, matching the probable Swamiji cues described for this event, and the blessing gesture fits an in-person darshan. Two visible people are present.
