Behind, several women in white garments stand and watch, a few seated people sit at the right beside a steel railing, maroon curtains hang at the back, and a framed portrait hangs on the upper right wall.

A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange shawl and orange-red cloth, wearing a beaded necklace of rust-coloured beads and long dark hair swept back, extending his right hand to place it on the head of a kneeling man in a white kurta with a red waist cloth and a rudraksha-style mala. The seated figure has long hair, a rust-orange wrap and a beaded necklace, so the appearance cues are a probable match to Swamiji, who is giving a blessing to a devotee. Behind them, several women in white and cream clothing stand watching, and a bald man in white kneels nearby. A white cooler stands at left, with maroon curtains and a stage platform with a chair at right. The scene looks like a blessing during a seated darshan in a hall.2013-04-01Indoor photo of a seated figure with long dark hair in a rust-orange robe and orange shawl on a plum velvet armchair, one hand raised with palm open toward a man kneeling on a red-patterned rug.

Behind them, an attendant in white dhoti and orange sash stands near a white air-conditioning unit and red curtains, with a red-cushioned seat and an orange towel in the foreground.
