Outdoor photograph on a stone ghat beside a wide river, with a distant crowd and tents on the far bank. A long-haired man in an orange saffron top and orange shawl sits on a folded mat and presses his palm to the forehead of a seated man in a cream knitted sweater, white dhoti and orange shawl. A trident rests on the stone at the left edge. The seated man in the sweater has short curly hair. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing) appears as the person in orange giving blessing, so swamiji is set to in_person; the recipient is a devotee. Two physical people are visible.
