A photograph of a seated figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, placing his right hand on the forehead of a standing man with curly shoulder-length hair. The standing man wears a white shirt printed with figures and a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulder, and both are smiling. The seated figure sits on a red velvet chair in a room with a cream wall, a white floor standing fan and a wall-mounted air cooler, with dark red curtains behind. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and mala fit the appearance cues of the Swamiji (probable) candidate, shown in the role of a blessing giver, while the standing man is a devotee receiving the blessing.
