A photograph of a man with long dreadlocks, a white tilak on his forehead and a red bindi, wearing rudraksha mala necklaces, a gold pendant and a rust-red wrap over bare shoulders. He is seated on an ornate silver throne with a silver lion-head carving and a leopard-print cloth behind him, smiling as he places both hands on the head and shoulders of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a red wristband. This appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long hair, rudraksha malas, gold necklace and ornate throne match the page's identification of Swamiji at this event. The kneeling devotee is the only other visible person.
