A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red turban and matching rust-red cloth, wearing a red and white flower garland and gold bangles, raising a hand in blessing over the head of a bald man bending forward in a white shirt and trousers. The seated figure has a swept-back look and is seated on a red, zebra-striped cushioned throne in front of a floral backdrop of orange, red, and purple flowers. A standing woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala looks on at right, and a second woman in pink and white sits beside her. A golden kalasha-style vessel and a steel tray of ripe bananas sit in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by the turban, ornate red clothing, flower garlands, and throne.
