A photograph of a devotional blessing in a crowded indoor hall. On the right, a figure in an orange turban and sleeveless orange robe with long dark hair and a gold ornament at the waist places one hand on the head of a bald, kneeling man in a grey-green kurta with a red rudraksha mala and a locket. The kneeling man bows forward with his hands clasped. Behind them a man in white and a woman in white saree stand among onlookers. The figure in orange has a distinctive turban, flowing hair and saffron robes, a compatible presentation of the Swamiji candidate, so the appearance-based label applies. The figure is in the act of blessing a devotee.
