A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a yellow edge and an orange rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders, extending a hand to bless the forehead of a man kneeling before him. The seated figure has long dark hair pulled back and a white forehead marking; the kneeling man wears white clothing, a rudraksha mala, and a knitted orange-brown cap, and a white name badge is visible on his chest. Standing figures in white clothes watch in the background beside a pale wall and a fan. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala, giving blessing to the devotee in a satsang-style setting.
