A photograph of a long-haired man in a red-brown dhoti with gold border and a long brown rudraksha mala, seated on a gold-accented chair with a hand extended and fingers touching the forehead of a second man. The second man wears an orange polo shirt and an orange-red shawl, with a short beard, and raises his hand in front of his face. Behind them, a framed portrait and orange cushions in a bright, softly lit hall. The first man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold-bordered clothing, seated and giving blessing to a devotee. Two seated people in the background are partly visible, with a red armchair and a gold ornament at the edge.
