A man in a white and blue checked shirt bows his head while a figure in a rust-orange robe with a gold-and-orange beaded necklace and gold bangles places a hand on his head in blessing. The blessing figure has long dark hair, a red bindi, and a broad smile; a second person in a rust-orange robe with bare shoulder stands behind. Several devotees in white and pastel saris and shirts stand around in a hall with draped white and red fabric, colourful patterned pillars, ceiling lights, and a large screen showing a video. Swamiji (probable) is the figure with long hair in orange robes and a gold necklace giving the blessing, shown in person.
