The blessing figure sits on a richly upholstered red throne with gold trim and holds a folded stack of small papers. Behind them stands a brass oil lamp and a brass kalasha-style vessel on a red-draped platform, with a deity murti and orange-and-gold fabric in the background.

A seated man in orange sannyasi robes with a bun, a long rudraksha mala and a gold-edged orange shawl places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white kurta with hands pressed together in namaste. The kneeling devotee has a black collar-style cord and a ring. Behind them is a gold deity murti or altar decoration with red and yellow garlands, a white tower fan on the left, and a pale wall.

A second man in white with a white-marked forehead and gold necklace stands in the background, and a small wooden table with a tray and a gold-coloured item is visible.

Facing him, a bearded man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala around his neck raises his palms in a namaste-like gesture toward him, while another man's hand rests on the seated man's arm. Behind them a wall displays a collage of framed black-and-white and colour portraits of an elderly bearded man, and a black curtain and potted plant are visible. The seated man's appearance with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues suggests a person, but identity is uncertain.2011-09-03 +1 copiesA seated figure in a saffron-orange robe over a red top sits on an ornate gilded throne with red patterned cushions, a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair. A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers. A Swamiji (probable) label applies based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and the gilded throne setting, so the seated figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate.2008-10-19
