A man in a maroon kurta with a geometric pattern stands with eyes closed and head bowed as a seated figure in maroon and gold ceremonial robes places his right palm on the man's forehead. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, a white tripundra mark on the forehead, and a gold necklace, and sits near a red cushion. Behind them hang red curtains and a projection screen, with a seated woman in red at the right edge. The gesture appears to be a blessing or transmission of energy during a satsang setting. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklace and maroon-gold robes, seen in person giving the blessing.
