A man in a white shirt bends forward with his head lowered while a figure in a saffron-orange robe places a hand on his head in blessing. The blessing figure has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white forehead markings, an ornate gold necklace, rudraksha beads and a gold-bead garland, and is smiling. Another man in a white shirt stands at left with clasped hands, and attendants in saffron and white robes stand behind. A rope barrier, red curtains, a projection screen and a decorative hanging with tassels fill the hall background. The blessing figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornments, shown in the act of giving blessings.
