A photograph of a seated figure on a leopard-print throne in front of a gold-carved backdrop. The figure wears a maroon-red turban with a gold jewelled ornament, a rust-red shawl over the body, a long pink-and-white jasmine garland, and red bangles on the arms. He leans forward and places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white dhoti with white sacred ash markings on his bare chest and forehead, wearing a rudraksha mala. Behind them are gold bells and a brass oil lamp. A person's hand holds an apple and an orange-red cloth in the lower right. Probable Swamiji (appearance cues: maroon turban with jewelled ornament, rudraksha-style red shawl and garland) is blessing a devotee, and the scene looks like a darshan or blessing.
