A photograph taken on a riverbank at Triveni Sangam, with a wide river and a distant crowd along the far shore. A figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a cloth mat on the stone bank, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and blue jeans, who is bent forward with bare feet. A second man in a white jacket sits in the lower left foreground, partly visible, with a red and white calendar-style placard beside him. The saffron-robed figure has long dark hair swept back; the visible cues are the orange clothing and long hair, but the identity is uncertain from appearance, so the figure is described by role as a priest performing a blessing on the kneeling devotee.

The kneeling man wears a grey-and-white striped shirt and white dhoti and is barefoot. A trident-like staff rests beside the seated figure. Another man in the lower left corner watches. Distant boats, a hazy shoreline and riverbank structures fill the background, with a small blue-and-purple logo in the upper right corner. The seated figure's distinctive long hair and saffron robes are consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable), depicted in a blessing gesture.2006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08 +1 copiesJanuary 08 20062006-01-08Photograph at a riverbank ghat on a sunny day, with a wide river and distant crowds behind.
