A photograph of a seated man in a white dhoti and white shirt, leaning forward with his head bowed, while a man on the right with long dark hair, a red bindi, a gold necklace of beads and a white draped cloth over his shoulder places his right hand on the seated man's head in a blessing gesture. Behind them is a golden ornate throne with red cushions and a dark blue curtain, with a small brass lamp at the left edge. The man with long hair matches a distinctive presentation (long swept-back hair, gold beaded necklace, white cloth), so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) performing a blessing on a devotee during a satsang setting.
