A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange turban and orange-gold garment, wearing a multi-strand brown rudraksha mala, sitting on a gold-carved throne against a red backdrop. He raises his right hand to touch the forehead of a bearded man in a white kurta with a red lanyard and red-patterned shawl, who kneels with palms pressed together in anjali. A cameraman in white stands behind, and another person in white is partly visible at the right edge. This appears to be a darshan blessing, with the seated figure bestowing it. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, rudraksha mala and orange-gold clothing.
