A seated man with long dark hair and a swept-back style wears a rust-orange wrap and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, placing his right palm on the head of a young boy with short dark hair who leans forward with hands together. The boy wears a light blue t-shirt and a brown bead mala. Behind them a group of children and adults stands in a hall with a red curtain; a woman in a floral kurta wears an orange lanyard, and a young girl in white stands at right. The seated man's cues (long hair, orange wrap, mala beads) are distinctive, so this is probable Swamiji in person giving a blessing to a boy.
