A seated figure in an orange-red turban, golden-orange garment and multiple rudraksha malas places both palms on the forehead of an elderly white-haired man in white kurta with an orange shawl, who kneels with hands in namaste. The blessing gesture suggests darshan. Behind them, women in white and orange sashes sit at a hall with red-upholstered chairs, and a small electronic device sits on an orange cloth.

The seated man appears to be receiving a blessing.2015-10-25A photograph of a seated man in a white kurta wearing a red turban, with his hands raised and palms out, receiving a forehead touch from a long-haired figure in orange-saffron robes with a rudraksha mala. The robed figure's hand rests on the man's forehead, a gesture of blessing during an initiation at a ceremonial seat. Behind them a large gold-carved throne-back stands beside green foliage and red draping, with marigold garlands and offerings near a yellow-gold bag on the left. A bald-headed person in orange is partially visible at the bottom foreground. Appearance cues for the robed figure (long dark hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala) are consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated in a blessing role.2016-05-06
