Photo of two men in close indoor contact in a hotel-style room with a checked red and white curtain, folding chairs, a fan and a bed with pillows behind them. The man on the right has long, dark, swept-back hair and wears a white garment with a gold border, smiling and pressing his fingers to the forehead of the man on the left. That man wears a beige kurta with a red and brown beaded mala, a ring, and holds his hands together in a namaste-like gesture with eyes closed. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment during a satsang gathering. Swamiji (probable): the man on the right has long, swept-back hair and a white and gold garment, cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji conducting the program, applying a blessing to a devotee.
