A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes seated on a white cushioned seat, extending his right hand in blessing over the head of a dark-haired woman who is seated before him. He wears a red tilak mark on his forehead and a long rudraksha mala, and holds a folded white paper in his other hand. Behind him a woman in a yellow and white sari holds a tray, and a young man in orange robes with a red sash and a visible ID badge stands at left. A white-draped table holds a tray of items and a bouquet of pink roses sits behind. Books and rudraksha malas are displayed on a table at bottom right, and a trident is visible at the right edge. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas, presiding over a blessing.
