A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a leopard-print turban with a crown ornament sits on a red-cushioned gilded throne, wearing a long rudraksha mala and smiling. He extends both palms toward a kneeling devotee in white kurta and an orange shawl printed with script, whose head he is blessing with hands raised. A gilded deity murti with a staff stands at the left edge, and a stage backdrop shows snowy mountains. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept hair under a crown and turban, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, matching the page's Swamiji claim. The kneeling devotee is a person receiving blessing. Photograph, one visible seated figure and one kneeling figure plus a partially visible person at right.
