A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-red top and matching orange shawl, with a white forehead mark and rudraksha beads, placing his palm on the forehead of a bald man in a black t-shirt whose eyes are closed. The bald man's hands are raised beside his face. Red curtains and a blurred white-clothed person form the background. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the orange-clad figure giving blessing, based on long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-orange clothing.
