A photograph of an indoor blessing moment. A man with long dark swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a beaded rudraksha-style necklace and an orange draped garment sits in a chair and extends his right hand to touch the forehead of an older bald man in a white shirt with an orange shawl and a wristwatch, who holds his palms up in return. A shaved-headed man in orange robes stands in the background beside a white wall and a wall-mounted air conditioning unit. Swamiji (probable): the seated man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha beads and orange draping matches the page's claim, so this appearance-based label is applied.
