A photograph of a ritual blessing. A man with long dark dreadlocks, wearing an orange-red shawl with gold trim, a gold earring, red and gold bangles and gold necklaces, places his right hand on the forehead of a woman in a white top with a rudraksha-style red-brown bead necklace. Behind them a golden deity murti is partly visible, and in the background several people in white dhotis with yellow borders stand with palms pressed together. The man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji by the long hair, orange ornate clothing and gold jewellery cues, shown in the act of blessing a devotee.
