Photograph of a seated man in a red-orange robe with a gold-and-brown beaded mala draped across his chest, his long dark hair swept back into a low knot, and a white vertical mark on his forehead, placing his right palm on the forehead of a man in white ritual clothing who raises his own right hand in a blessing gesture. The man in white wears a white dhoti-style shirt and a rudraksha mala with a brown-and-red cord. A camera on a tripod and a gold-toned animal figure stand in the background beside a framed picture of a robed figure. Probable Swamiji (appearance-based label: long swept-back hair, orange robe and beaded mala) is giving blessing to a devotee in an indoor satsang setting. Two physical people are visible.
