A photo of a devotional moment in an ashram hall beside a gold-and-red throne. A smiling person with a white-marked forehead, a garland of white flowers and a saffron-orange and red wrap raises an open hand in blessing toward a bowing man in a cream kurta holding a garland, who leans forward with hands together. A kneeling devotee in red garments sits on the lower left, with a seated monastic in saffron-and-gold robes in the foreground and standing figures in red-and-saffron robes behind. A woman in a white sari with a red shawl watches from the right beside a wall air conditioner. The face-like appearance of the blessing figure is uncertain and no visible name is shown.
