A seated man in an orange saffron shawl and red undergarment sits on a gold and red throne with red cushions, smiling as he places both hands on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt who bows low to touch his feet. Behind them a woman in a dark patterned outfit watches, and a red and gold patterned wall, garlands of red and yellow flowers, and a brass lamp frame the scene. A partially visible person in orange stands at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing on a ceremonial throne, and a padapuja-style blessing is shown. Photo from a padapuja event.
