A photograph of a man with long dark hair and a white ritual cloth draped over one shoulder, wearing rudraksha beads on his arm and neck, seated on a red cushioned seat and placing his right palm on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt. The seated man has white tilak marks on his forehead. Behind them are a window, a soft white wall and an orange cloth on the seat. The kneeling man has his hands raised toward the seated man's wrist. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, given the long hair, rudraksha malas and white ritual garment, with the page noting his presence at this event. The scene shows a blessing of the forehead, one of two people visible.
