A seated man in a rust-red and gold-bordered sannyasi-style wrap, with a long gold-and-beaded necklace and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, extends his right arm to place a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and silver wristwatch. The kneeling devotee bows forward with his palm raised near his own forehead. Behind them stand ornate gold-toned carved panels with lattice patterns, brass lamps and a glass vessel, and a small gold figure rests near the seated man. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, identified by the long hair, saffron-toned ornate clothing and gold necklace, shown placing a blessing on a devotee in a darshan setting.
