A photograph of a padapuja-style blessing indoors. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a rust-orange cloth and a heavy necklace of golden bell-like beads, reaches his right hand to touch the forehead of a bare-chested man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a white dhoti with a red-and-gold border, a rudraksha mala, and rings, with his hands folded in anjali. Behind them a child in white sits, a gold-draped object is at the left edge, green foliage stands by a white screen, and a dark wall panel is at the right. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure in rust-orange with the golden bead necklace and long hair, giving the blessing; the description is appearance-based.
