A photograph of a hall with white ceiling tiles and red curtains. A bare-chested man in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti with a rust-red shawl and a long rudraksha-style beaded necklace stands in the centre-right, smiling, placing his right hand on the head of a balding older man in a white shirt who bends forward and holds his hand. A man in white shirt with a blue lanyard stands beside them with hands folded. Other devotees in white and rust-red clothes, some with beaded malas, stand behind a row of metal stanchions. Screens on the wall show a devotional image. The centre figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair, gold earrings, ornate gold-bordered red garments and a beaded necklace, giving blessing to a devotee.
