A photograph of a seated man in orange-red drapery with a bare upper body, long dark hair tied back, orange tilak on his forehead, and a gold necklace, smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears rimless glasses, a white shirt, and an orange-red shawl, with his palms pressed together in namaste. Beside them is a gold lion-headed armrest of a throne, a silver staff-like pole, and a wooden serpent-form armrest. The background shows gold-toned draped fabric and greenery. This appears to be a blessing moment during a darshan. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by his long hair, ornate gold necklace, and orange-red robes.

Behind them stands a large golden deity figure, possibly a gold mount or vahana, with red and orange fabric, flowers and a kalasha-like gold object at the left edge. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (long hair pulled back, rudraksha mala, saffron robes), so he is listed as in_person, with the devotee receiving a blessing. One person is clearly the focus of this interaction, with a second partly visible figure in white in the background.2014-02-07
