A smiling man in a rust-brown sannyasi robe, gold armlet, gold bead necklaces and a leopard-print headband with a long swept-back hair bun sits on an ornate silver-and-white throne, extending his bare right arm to touch the head of a kneeling devotee in white clothes with palms pressed together in namaste. A younger attendant with a sacred marking stands at left. Blurred orange and gold temple decor is behind them. The scene reads as a blessing given to a devotee, with a probable Swamiji identified by the ceremonial gold necklaces, long swept-back hair, leopard headband and saffron-toned robe.
