A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange and gold saffron-toned garment with a leopard-print shawl, wearing a rust-orange cap with gold trim and a long rudraksha-style mala with white beads and skull-like pendants. He extends his right hand toward the head of a young boy in an orange t-shirt standing on a red mat, while other people in a bright hall watch and move around; one woman in a cream sari stands behind, and a boy in a plaid shirt and jeans stands nearby. White wall-mounted cooling unit and red curtains frame the room. The man's cues (long swept-back hair, ornate clothing, mala) are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji in person giving a blessing to the boy.
