A smiling man in a cream turban and cream shawl, wearing a red robe with a rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace, raises his hand in blessing toward a bald man in white and red-bordered dhoti. The bald priest holds a white tray of rudraksha malas and red fruit. A photographer in a green shirt and a man in white kurta stand behind a metal stanchion; a blurred portrait in the background shows a smiling man in white. Swamiji (probable) is the man in the cream turban and red robe with rudraksha mala, long hair and gold necklace, identified by these visible cues.
