Photograph of a seated figure in a royal blue silk garment with a yellow-gold waistband and rudraksha beads on the arms and chest, raising one hand to bless the head of a teenage boy in a yellow-and-blue striped polo shirt with his hands pressed together in namaskar. The seated figure holds folded white paper, and a red-and-gold throne with a red zebra-striped cushion is in front, with a wooden stick resting across it and a red box with a microphone on the left. A red curtain backdrop and a few seated people in white are behind; a young girl in orange is at the bottom right. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold-trimmed clothing, seated as the blessing giver.
