A gilded ornate throne with a red drape fills the left background, and a woman in red stands at the upper right. The figure in the turban has long hair and distinctive ceremonial attire, so this is a person in person.2015-10-25August 16 20142014-08-16October 25 20152015-10-25October 25 20152015-10-25A seated figure in a rust-red turban and ochre-saffron robe with a gold-edged yellow border sits before a gold ornate throne with a red cushion. Multiple strands of rudraksha-style beads hang on the chest, and a red-and-orange bracelet is on the wrist. The figure places an open right palm on the forehead of a standing older man with grey hair and a moustache, who wears a white kurta and an orange-saffron shawl printed with script, hands pressed together in namaskar. A red curtain backdrop and a photographer in white behind them complete the scene. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure giving blessing, identified by turban, saffron robes, rudraksha strands and throne; the standing devotee is a devotee. Two physical people are visible.2015-10-25October 25 20152015-10-25September 01 20142014-09-01A seated figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red garment with a gold-yellow edge, wearing a long brown beaded mala, places a hand on the forehead of a kneeling man with silver-white hair and a white kurta, his palms pressed together in namaskar.
