A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair wearing a tiger-striped yellow and black garment, a wide orange waist sash, pearl necklaces and a pink-and-red flower garland, placing a hand on the forehead of a fair-haired older man in a white head wrap and white robe. A woman in white and orange drapery stands behind, with other people and plants in the background. The gesture suggests a blessing or darshan exchange. Swamiji (probable) appears in this scene, identified by the long swept-back hair, ornate tiger-striped clothing, pearl and flower garlands, and the blessing role. The white-robed man receives the blessing.
