A photograph of a person with long, swept-back dark curly hair, wearing an orange-red saffron garment with a red inner shawl, a multi-strand gold and silver necklace, and silver and gold bangles on the raised arm. He stands with his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a yellow striped shirt with palms pressed together. Two other devotees stand nearby, one in white and one in a checked shirt, and a bald man in orange cloth stands at the right edge with white markings on his arm. The appearance cues (long curly hair, saffron clothing, ornate necklace) are probable Swamiji, performing a blessing on a devotee, a darshan-style gesture. Two to five people are visible, plus a partly seen photographer at the left edge.
