A photograph of a seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, wearing an orange-rust draped garment with a yellow edge and a wide beaded brown waist belt, and multiple rudraksha-style white bead malas across the chest. The figure extends one arm to place a palm on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt with a red-and-orange lanyard and an ID badge. The young man has short curly hair and his palm is raised in return, eyes closed, receiving the blessing. A red curtain and a white cooling unit form the background, with a second man in white partly visible at right. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and rudraksha malas, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) giving a forehead blessing to a devotee.
