Indoor photo of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a dark red shawl, wearing layered gold beaded necklaces and an orange rudraksha-style mala, smiling as he places his right hand on the forehead of a bald, grey-bearded older man in white dhoti and a red-orange shawl. The older man presses his palms together in reverent receiving posture. Behind them stand white-clad attendants and a white air cooler in a plain cream room. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired figure in saffron robes and layered gold beads and rudraksha mala, performing a blessing.

The older man's hands are raised in anjali. Behind them a white wall-mounted air conditioner and a window with a figure inside. The scene resembles a blessing exchange.

The seated man's gaze is directed downward and he smiles while raising his right hand. A red cushioned seat, an air cooler and a mirror on the wall form the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man shows long swept-back hair, an orange shawl and gold bead necklace, consistent with the ceremonial appearance associated with Swamiji, performing a forehead blessing. Two physical people are visible, plus a partly visible figure in the mirror reflection.2013-04-01March 14 20132013-03-14April 01 20132013-04-01March 17 20132013-03-17A photograph of two men facing each other in a bright room with white walls and cooler units.

Behind them a third person in white partly visible, and a red cloth-draped table appears at lower left.
