A photograph of a long-haired person in a saffron-orange shawl and rudraksha mala, seated with a bare upper arm, placing a palm on the forehead of a young man in a white t-shirt who stands with eyes closed and one hand raised in a blessing-like gesture. Other people in white clothes stand in the background near red drapes, and a small plant sits at the right edge. The appearance of the seated figure with saffron wrap, rudraksha mala and long hair is consistent with Swamiji (probable), giving a blessing to the devotee. Visible people number about four to six.
