A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-red robe, multiple rudraksha-style beaded necklaces with gold ornaments, golden bracelets and a small head-mounted microphone, placing his right hand on the shaven head of a kneeling devotee in orange robes with hands joined in namaskar; the devotee has white vibhuti marks on his forehead. Behind them stand several people in matching orange-red robes and garlands, and the seated figure sits on an ornate silver-embossed throne. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha malas, orange robe) is blessing the devotee in what appears to be a ritual or satsang setting.
