A photograph of two men in an indoor setting with a maroon curtain at left and a golden ornament at right. The man at left, wearing an orange saffron wrap, long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, sits leaning forward with his arm extended, his palm resting on the head of a second man. The second man, seated and bald on top, wears a brown checked shirt over an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala, with his hands raised in a gesture of reception. A white air cooler and flower garlands are visible in the background, and another seated person is partly visible behind them. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-clad man with long hair and rudraksha beads at left, giving blessing.
