A seated man in orange saffron robes with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, placing his right hand on the head of a bowed devotee during blessing. He holds a wooden staff in his other hand. A woman in a pink top with a ponytail and gold earrings sits in front, and a man in orange with a shaved head and tilak stands at left. Behind them a man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala holds an offering tray with fruit and a digital clock showing 9:35. Papers and a pineapple lie on the table, with orange-draped chairs and a white cloth in the background. The swami figure shows distinctive long hair, saffron robes and a mala; a probable match to Swamiji, seated and blessing a devotee in what appears to be a darshan setting.
