A photograph of a man with swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-brown garment over the shoulder, a red and white flower garland, a gold chain necklace, gold earrings, a red bindi and many gold bangles, placing his hand on the forehead of a bald older man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Other people stand softly out of focus in the background before a dark red curtain and yellow floral decorations. Swamiji (probable): the standing man with swept-back hair, saffron-orange garment, garland and gold ornaments is the presumed Swamiji, blessing the devotee; appearance cues are several and distinctive.
