The blessing gesture suggests a darshan or padapuja moment. Swamiji (probable) is the robed figure; the cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, and the event page places him at this satsang. Two physical people are visible.2014-05-12A seated man in an orange-red garment and multiple gold-bead necklaces, with a white forehead marking and red tilak, places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a red shirt.
