A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange and gold garment with a long rudraksha mala draped over the chest, hair tied back in a bun, extending a hand to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in a light blue striped shirt with an orange lanyard. Behind them, a gold lion-headed ceremonial seat or throne in the foreground, and several people in white and cream clothing stand and watch in a room with red drapes. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing with a rudraksha mala, so this appearance is a probable Swamiji candidate in an in-person blessing (Swamiji (probable)).
