A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long orange-beaded mala and long dark hair, resting one hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style garment with an orange lanyard. The seated figure's outstretched right hand rests on the kneeling man's head, a gesture of blessing. The kneeling man holds his palms up in front of him. Behind them, a man in a white kurta with a tilak on his forehead sits with folded hands, and a standing person in white clothes and a lanyard is visible in the background near fans and an air conditioner unit. A red cushioned seat is in the foreground. Probable Swamiji appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and orange mala, seated in a blessing role. The image is consistent with a satsang or initiation session.
