A photograph of a seated figure in orange saffron robes with a wrapped orange sash and a long rudraksha mala draped across the chest, raising a hand in blessing and touching the forehead of a man in white kurta and orange shawl who sits with palms pressed together. Behind them, a silver ornate seat or altar edge, purple flowers, and a green screen; several more people in white and red clothing sit or stand in the background. The blessing figure has long dark hair tied back, which is an appearance-based label only: Swamiji (probable) performing a blessing on a devotee, with the rudraksha mala and saffron robes as the cues.
