Close photo of a man in a white shirt with a dark moustache and rudraksha mala being touched on the forehead by a woman in orange clothing whose hand presses against his brow. Her hair is pulled back and she is seen from behind in the foreground. Dark background suggests an indoor hall. No one visible is clearly identifiable as a person by distinctive presentation, so the subject is described by role only.

The younger man wears a white beaded necklace and a blue event badge on his chest; a second man stands partly visible at the right edge and a blue-and-yellow patterned cloth hangs behind. The orange-clad figure, with his swept-back dark hair and distinctive saffron garment, shows probable Swamiji appearance cues; he is performing a blessing, a forehead touch on a devotee at what appears to be an indoor gathering.2010-07-05December 07 20092009-12-07June 04 20062006-06-04
