A photograph of an indoor event in a hotel-style hall with a blurred backdrop of colourful banners and portraits. A smiling man in a red turban with a gold ornament and red shawl over a green-and-gold garment, with a red tilak on his forehead and gold armlets, places his right hand on the head of a bowing man with grey hair and glasses, who wears a pink dotted shirt. Several other attendees stand behind, including a man in glasses and people with folded hands, some in white and orange clothing. The turbaned man has the distinctive ceremonial attire of a blessing giver, but his appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm he is the swami.
