A seated figure in a rust-orange turban, bare-shouldered with an orange-and-gold wrap and a long rudraksha-style mala, reaches out to touch the forehead of a man standing before him. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne against a deep red drape. The standing man wears white kurta-style clothing with an orange shawl and a gold chain, hands joined in anjali. Behind them a woman in white with a beaded necklace looks on. The appearance of the seated figure matches the Swamiji (probable) description through turban, orange and gold garments and mala, so this is an in-person blessing scene.
