A photograph of a long-haired man in a red-orange robe and red-beaded mala seated on an ornate gold throne, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a blue t-shirt who bows forward. A smiling woman in a red headwrap and red-orange garment with beaded necklaces stands to the right, and an attendant's hand holds a tray with offerings at the edge of the frame. Ornate blue and gold decorative panels form the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears long swept-back hair, a red-orange robe, a red beaded mala and a gold pendant, cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference; he is blessing the devotee in a blessing gesture.
