A photograph of a long-haired person in a saffron-orange sari with a green and gold border sitting on a red and magenta cushioned seat, reaching forward to place a hand on the forehead of a man in a cream striped kurta with an orange shawl. The seated figure has long grey-streaked hair and a rudraksha mala draped over the sari. Behind them stand a golden ornate decorative pillar and a garland of red and white flowers, with a white cooling unit and a standing figure in blue and orange on the right. The gesture resembles a blessing given to a devotee. The seated figure matches the appearance cues for Swamiji (probable) through long hair, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha, while the kneeling devotee is a person receiving blessing.
