A seated bare-chested man in an orange shawl wears a long gold bead necklace and a rudraksha mala while placing his palm on the forehead of a standing man in white clothes with an orange shawl and a visitor badge. The standing man has his eyes closed and both arms raised in devotion. Behind them a red draped backdrop, a vase of red and yellow roses, white garlands and a water bottle surround a low seated group of devotees in white and orange. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, sannyasi-style, and a ceremonial gold necklace, which together with the seated throne-like setting are the appearance cues associated with Swamiji (probable), giving a blessing to a devotee in a darshan setting.
