A crowd of devotees gathers in a hall as a man in an orange sleeveless top with a rudraksha mala and long, swept-back hair places his hand on the forehead of a seated elderly devotee in a light shirt. Nearby a bald man in white with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala waits, and a second orange-clad attendant stands at the upper right. In the foreground a white-draped table holds rudraksha malas, sweets, coconuts and small packets as offerings, and a woman in red sits in front. Curtains, a fan and white draped seating frame the room. The man in orange sleeveless clothing matches the Swamiji (probable) description with his long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange garment, shown in the act of blessing.
