A person seated on a red leopard-print cushioned throne places a hand on the head of a man bowing low in a white striped shirt, while holding printed papers in the other hand. The seated figure wears a rust-red garment with a gold border, a leopard-print wrap, layered gold-and-beaded jewellery, a long yellow-and-red marigold garland, and a white forehead mark. Behind them a golden deity figure with a serpent-like form and a purple draped stand with garlands appear, and a videographer with a tripod stands in the background, with another woman in white at the right. The image appears to show a blessing or initiation moment during a Satsang-style event. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style setting on a throne, so the appearance-based candidate is in_person, though the identity is uncertain.
