A woman in a white sari with red border and a red bindi places both hands on the head of a seated man in a blue checked shirt, who bows with his face in his hands. Behind them hangs a large framed photograph of a long-haired man in saffron clothing, wearing a rudraksha mala, seated before a banyan tree with large roots. The woman wears gold bangles and earrings. On the right, a small shrine with a framed deity image, a brass lamp, flowers, plates of offerings and a figurine sits on a cloth. The photo appears to be a blessing or darshan at a home altar. The portrait shows a saffron-clad figure with long hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with Swamiji, though this is an appearance-based judgement.
