He raises his right hand and places it on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white kurta with grey hair and a red tilak mark, whose palms are pressed together in namaste. Behind the throne stand a gilded deity murti decorated with red and white flower garlands and sparkling jewelled ornaments. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the turban, saffron-red robes and rudraksha mala cues; the kneeling devotee is an unidentified person receiving blessing.
