Indoor photo of a seated man in an orange saffron robe with long hair tied up, on a red velvet throne with gold carved armrest and a golden lion footstool. He places his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti, who has his palms joined in a gesture of devotion. Behind them a standing man in a red shirt and a small child in a striped shirt watch, and in the foreground a woman in a red sari sits with her back to the camera. Red velvet drapes and a small tray with a rudraksha mala and offerings are visible. The orange-robed seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, consistent with a probable Swamiji, seated on a throne during a blessing.
