Photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, white forehead markings and a red bindi, wearing a long rudraksha mala and extending his right hand to bless the forehead of a grey-haired man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl and rudraksha beads, who stands with palms pressed together. Behind them a silver staff with a metal finial, a golden figure, golden garlands and red cloth fill the background, with a few other people in orange clothing at the edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron robes, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance in a blessing or darshan setting.
