A smiling man in a rust-orange garment and layered gold necklaces studded with rudraksha beads raises his right hand in blessing over a young boy and a man in white, while holding a folded white paper in his left hand. Several people in white and pastel saris stand behind them in a bright hall with red drapes and flower decorations. The man wears a long swept-back hairstyle, a tilak on his forehead, a gold earring, and rudraksha-and-gold armlets. Two people in the foreground have their palms pressed together in respect. The man is described as a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold and rudraksha adornments, and saffron-orange clothing, shown here giving blessing in a satsang setting.
