Photo of a satsang moment in which a long-haired man in an orange saffron shawl over the shoulder, wearing a rudraksha mala with large beads, places his right hand on the forehead of a young man in white kurta, who holds his palms together in namaskar. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with a red-and-gold-trimmed shawl and a rudraksha mala watches, and a bearded man in a white shirt stands at the right edge. Women in white saris and a red curtain are visible in the background, along with a white pedestal fan. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired man in orange saffron with rudraksha mala cues matches the page's claim of his presence, so he is identified as in person with the blessing gesture; appearance cues are used only as a candidate label.
