A photograph of a seated man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped under a leopard-print turban, wearing rudraksha malas and an orange-saffron shawl over a bare chest, raising his right hand in blessing toward an older man with grey hair in an orange shawl who faces him closely. A brass deity figure holding a dish stands on the right, and a brass ritual object with a serpent motif is in the left foreground against a red throne-like seat. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's dreadlocks, turban, rudraksha malas and saffron shawl are the cues for the Swamiji candidate, in a blessing role. A person in an orange shawl receives the blessing. Another person stands partly visible at the upper right, and a figure is visible in the background.
