A seated man in an orange-red robe with a gold border and a rudraksha mala necklace places his right hand on the forehead of a bald man in a white kurta, who stands with palms pressed together and eyes closed. The seated man wears a white tilak mark on his forehead and has long swept-back dark hair. Behind them a gold deity murti is visible, and a projector screen shows a golden image. The setting is an indoor satsang-style gathering with red curtains and a wall sconce. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robes and rudraksha mala necklaces, while the standing devotee receives his blessing.
