A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala, with a red tika on his forehead, placing both hands on the head of a devotee in a white kurta and orange shawl. Behind them stands a deep magenta velvet backdrop and a gold ornate chair back at left; a red and maroon cushion sits beside him. The seated man has long swept-back hair and the appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of orange robes, long hair and a rudraksha mala, so he is a probable candidate depicted in person as a teacher giving a blessing; the devotee kneels receiving it.
