A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulders, a heavy gold-coloured ceremonial necklace of beads, and multiple red-and-white flower garlands. He raises his right hand in blessing, with a bangle on the wrist and a gold ring on a finger, toward a older man in a white shirt who stands with his palms pressed together in namaste. Another man in white with grey hair leans forward at the left edge. Behind them, blurred devotees in white and blue clothing and a red curtained stage backdrop suggest a satsang or darshan gathering. The distinctive long hair, saffron shawl, ornate necklace and garlands match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, and he is physically present blessing devotees.
