A photo of a blessing moment indoors. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange saffron sleeveless garment, rudraksha beads on his wrists and neck, and a gold-trimmed shawl around his waist, extends his right arm and presses his palm to the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a purple lanyard and badge. The recipient stands with eyes closed and his palms raised in front of him. Behind them, out of focus, several people in white and orange clothing sit or stand. The orange-clad figure matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, shown in an act of blessing.
