A seated man in an orange-brown robe with a long rudraksha-style beaded mala draped over his shoulder reaches out to touch the raised palm of a standing devotee in a white shirt with a red shawl. The seated man has long swept-back hair and sits on a red velvet chair before a deep red curtain. A second man in a white garment with a beaded mala and gold-edged cloth sits to the right, eyes lowered. The setting is an indoor satsang room with a white wall, a small fan and an orange cloth on the armrest. The seated figure's long hair, saffron-orange robe and ornate beaded mala are consistent with Swamiji (probable) giving a blessing during a satsang with a devotee.
