A photograph of a ritual blessing during an indoor event. A man with long swept-back hair, a red and white forehead mark, rudraksha-style beaded and gold ceremonial necklaces, and an orange-red robe with an orange shawl places his right hand on the head of a young man in a white shirt, who has his eyes lowered and hands folded. On the left, a man in glasses and a grey-blue shirt stands with palms pressed together in prayer. Behind them a priest in a white-marked forehead and orange garment stands nearby, and a paper sheet is held in the foreground. Probable Swamiji (appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and orange-red robe) is the presiding figure performing the blessing.
