A photograph taken indoors at a convention. In the foreground, a bare-chested figure with long, swept-back dark hair and a gold necklace places a hand on the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt, who has his palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, a man in a white shirt holds his hands together in prayer, and several men in white clothes stand near a video camera on a tripod and a man holding a still camera. A blue cooler sits at right and orange and white garlands hang at left. The long-haired figure matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair and ornate gold necklace, and is shown in the act of blessing a devotee.
