A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl with long dark swept-back hair, a beard, a gold necklace and a small vertical tilak on his forehead smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling woman in orange robes wearing a rudraksha mala. He sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold-and-white throne with carved panels. Behind them a cameraman in a rust-coloured robe films on a tripod, and a bright yellow-gold pillar and beige walls frame the room. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man, identified by his long hair, orange shawl, gold necklace and ceremonial throne setting.
