A photograph of a seated devotee in white clothes and wire-rimmed glasses bowing forward while a standing man in a rust-orange saffron wrap places his right palm on the devotee's head in blessing. The standing man has long dreadlocked hair, a white vibhuti line with a red mark on his forehead, a thick rudraksha mala with gold ornament, and a gold pendant necklace; a red thread bracelet is on his wrist. Behind them stands a large silver lion sculpture against a black background. The devotee's palm is raised in a namaste-like gesture. Appearance-based cues for the blessing figure are distinctive (dreadlocks, rudraksha, saffron wrap, gold necklace), so this is a person in person, performing darshan with a devotee, on the 2017 Guinness Om event page.
