A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-brown shawl and a red and gold bead garland, places his right hand on the head of a smiling young man in a white shirt wearing an orange-yellow turban. The young man has his hands raised and an orange scarf draped over his shoulder, and a lanyard badge hangs from his neck. Behind them, women in white and red-orange saris stand and sit, one older woman in orange with a mala wipes her face with a cloth. A white fan and a small table with orange cloth and a flower offering appear in the room. The man seated in the center appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his long swept-back hair, ornate red garland and saffron-toned robe, and is blessing the turbaned devotee.
