A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style orange-brown bead garland and a gold-yellow lower garment sits on a red cushioned seat, placing one palm on the forehead of a man in white kurta with an orange shawl and a wristwatch, who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Background shows a standing crowd in orange and white clothing, an air-conditioning unit and a window. The figure's appearance with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and beads is consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated and blessing a devotee in an in-person satsang setting.
