A photograph of a seated man in rust-orange and red robes with a long, swept-back dark hairstyle, a white tilak on his forehead and a brown rudraksha-style mala around his neck, placing his right hand on the head of a short-haired young boy in a white shirt. He holds a small pink card in his left hand. Behind him stands a silver ceremonial staff and a golden deity murti with a gold-coloured backdrop, with garlands and a woman in white and a brown mala waiting nearby. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, orange ceremonial robes and a mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.

A woman in white with a brown and dark beaded mala and a second woman in a white top stand behind them, and several women in orange and pink garments watch from the right. A white floor-standing air conditioner, a fan and a golden deity murti at lower left complete the ritual scene in an indoor hall with a red floor covering. The turbaned man's identity is not established by the page, so his role is given as officiant.2015-09-27July 19 20142014-07-19May 03 20142014-05-03February 26 20132013-02-26 +1 copiesSeptember 11 20142014-09-11March 26 20132013-03-26A man with long dark hair swept back and a red hair ornament sits on a golden throne with a carved golden lion's head and a golden cobra-hooded staff beside him.

Two people's heads are partly visible at the bottom of the frame.
