A seated man in a red-maroon turban and maroon robe with gold-edged borders and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace leans forward in a brown leather armchair, smiling and placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt. The boy is draped in a red shawl printed with repeated mantra-like script. Behind them a woman in white with an orange tilak on her forehead stands, and seated devotees and a few people in the background watch. A purple-patterned backdrop and gold tinsel decorate the stage. The seated man has distinctive turban and ornate necklace cues, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a satsang-style blessing with a child; the boy is receiving a shawl and blessing.
