Photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red saffron wrap with bare shoulder and arm, long swept-back dark hair, and a dark beaded mala, raising a hand toward the bowed head of a man in a white shirt kneeling in front. Two women in white saris with dark beaded necklaces sit at left. Behind them are brass oil lamps and a brass trident-shaped stand, a tall wooden carved pillar, and a leopard-print cushion on a carved wooden seat, with red walls and potted plants. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, qualifying as a probable Swamiji candidate giving a blessing to the kneeling devotee.
