A photograph inside a covered hall with orange-painted walls and decorated pillars. A man in saffron robes with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a bare chest/shoulder covering, smiles and raises his right hand in blessing toward an elderly man in white who bows with hands folded. Beside them a monk in saffron with a shaved head holds a golden kalasha-like vessel on an orange cloth. A younger man in a white shirt with a lanyard stands at the railing, and a man in white kurta stands in the background. Several people are visible in the room. Probable Swamiji is the saffron-clad figure with long hair, rudraksha mala and blessing gesture, identified by appearance cues, not by face.
