A photograph of an indoor scene with a pale pink wall and a window behind. A man with long black hair in an orange sleeveless top leans in with his right arm extended, his hand resting on the shoulder of an older bald man with grey hair in a cream kurta. The older man bends his head forward. A brown beaded mala hangs around his neck. The younger man smiles warmly. Swamiji (probable): the long black hair, orange clothing and beaded mala are the cues; he is the one bestowing the gesture of blessing.
