A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-orange unstitched garment and a gold necklace, seated on a red cushioned seat and wearing a multicolored pink, blue and yellow flower garland with a gold ornament, smiling as he reaches out to touch the head of a man in a white shirt who bows before him. Behind them stand orange drapes, a white tower fan, and floral decorations. The man on the right has a long hair, a gold neck chain and a tilak mark on the forehead, consistent with a sannyasi appearance; this is an appearance-based label only: Swamiji (probable), seated and giving blessing as a satsang guru. Another devotee in orange sits partly visible at the left edge.
