A seated figure in a rust-red and gold drape, with long dark hair tied back and a white sacred mark on the forehead with a red bindi, leans forward and places his raised palm on the forehead of a man in a white kurta who stands with his hands joined in front of him. The man wears a rudraksha mala and a wristband of beads. Behind them are beige wall panels, a dark speaker and a white screen. The seated figure matches the appearance of a candidate for Swamiji, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold-and-red clothing and rudraksha mala cues, so the label is probable. Two other people are not visible.
