A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, wearing a white wrap and a gold ceremonial necklace, placing his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a brown vest and white shirt. He sits on a gold-trimmed chair before a garland of marigolds and roses, with red fruit on a tray in front. Behind them, women in white saris and orange-clad devotees sit in rows in a hall with dark red drapes. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and gold necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable), giving blessing or touching the head of a devotee during satsang.
