A long-haired man in an orange-red robe with a rudraksha mala sits on a red-cushioned gold throne, reaching out to touch the forehead of a man in white kurta who has white ash marks on his brow. Behind them, golden oil lamps stand on the throne side, and a crowd of women and men in red, orange and white clothing sits in a red-walled hall, some holding papers. A woman in white with a gold necklace and red-brown mala watches nearby. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in orange robes with long hair and a rudraksha mala, giving blessings to a devotee.
