The standing man wears a white kurta and an orange saffron shawl with eyes closed and hands raised in respect. Rudraksha bead bracelets appear on the seated man's wrists. Behind them a blurred seated audience member and a red cloth are visible. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha malas, matching the appearance-based Swamiji (probable) cues, shown in an in-person satsang-style blessing.
