A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red turban, rust-red robe with gold border, and many rudraksha malas and bracelets, smiling as he rests his hands on the bare head of a kneeling bare-chested devotee in a white sacred thread. Behind him a silver ornate throne back and a painted deity figure with multiple arms are visible. A left-side attendant touches the devotee's back. The seated man matches a probable Swamiji appearance by his turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, and is presented as the central figure receiving the devotee in a ritual blessing setting.
