A long-haired figure in an orange and green saffron-toned silk garment sits on a red-and-maroon tiger-striped cushion and reaches forward to touch the head of a small boy in a white sleeveless top. Behind them, a golden deity murti stands among red, white and green floral garlands. A shaven-headed man in white dhoti with a sacred thread and rudraksha mala sits nearby, and another man in white and a child in green stand in the background. Appearance is consistent with the Swamiji candidate, with long swept-back hair, ornate saffron clothing and rudraksha cues, so the blessing scene suggests a darshan moment, though identity remains probable only.
