A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, adorned with white jasmine and red flower garlands and a rudraksha-style necklace, placing his hand on the head of a kneeling man in white ritual clothes wearing a rudraksha mala. The kneeling man bows forward while the saffron-clad figure touches his crown, in a ceremonial blessing. Behind them, several people in white garments stand and sit, one holding a metal bowl and another holding a string of beads. A white electric fan stands at the upper right and a floral-covered cushion lies at the lower edge. The saffron figure is the central figure and appears to be a probable Swamiji (probable) with the turban, orange robes, garlands and rudraksha cues, shown giving a blessing during the event.
