A photograph inside a hall with cream walls, a gold oil lamp on a stand, and a potted palm. A long-haired figure in white with a gold-bordered shawl sits on a gold-trimmed cushioned chair with a fur-like throw, touching the forehead of a kneeling man in white kurta. Probable Swamiji (long dark hair, white and gold-bordered ceremonial clothing, seated on a throne-like chair) performs the blessing; a man in white stands behind, a woman in white and gold border sits nearby, and a woman in white folds her hands. Several people in white clothes stand and watch in the background, with a few more seated along the wall.
