A seated figure with long swept-back hair, wearing a rust-red robe and a dark rudraksha-style mala, raises a hand to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt and an orange-red patterned shawl with a tilak mark. Behind them, an ornate golden throne and layered gold necklaces hang on a deep magenta cloth. A seated woman in white with a red shawl holds a small object in her hands, and women in white and red stand nearby. The white-clad and shawled devotee appears to receive a blessing in a ritual setting. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair, rudraksha and rust-red robe, consistent with a probable Swamiji identification in a satsang or darshan setting.
