A man in a red turban adorned with a gold and pearl jewelled ornament and crescent-shaped plaque stands against an ornate embossed silver backdrop, with a microphone at right. He wears a white pearl garland, rudraksha beads, gold armlets and a dark kumkum mark on his forehead, and extends his arm to touch the head of a seated devotee in a white kurta with short black hair seen from behind. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment during a session. Swamiji (probable): the man in the red turban with ornate jewelled headpiece, pearl garland and rudraksha beads.
