A photograph of a long-haired man in orange-saffron robes and a red and white flower garland seated on a red cushioned chair, raising a round pink-and-gold kalasha pot high above a young boy's head in a ritual blessing. The boy wears a striped yellow, pink and white t-shirt and a dark beaded mala. Behind them, a woman in a green sari, another woman in red and orange, a woman carrying a child and a woman in a red kurta watch. Swamiji appearance is a probable candidate based on long hair, saffron robes and garland cues, seated in the ceremonial blessing role.
