Photograph of a ceremony on a stage lit by bright spotlights. A seated man in a rust-red robe, with a shawl draped over his body, wears a white-and-pink flower garland, several rudraksha mala strands and a gold necklace; he has long swept-back dark hair, a full beard and a white tilak on his forehead. Seated on a red cushioned chair with an ornate gold back, he is giving a blessing: a young boy in a white shirt kneels and touches the seated man's forehead with his fingers. Behind them a standing attendant in orange clothing and beads stands near a gold pole, and a red-and-gold staging area surrounds the stage. The seated man has distinctive long hair, saffron-toned clothing and rudraksha beads, so he is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the presence of devotees, while the boy is a devotee.
