A photo of a seated man in an orange-brown saffron robe with a pink-and-white flower garland, a red tilak on his forehead and a red bead bracelet, leaning forward to place his hands on the head of a woman in a pink and gold sari with a red rudraksha-style necklace. Behind him is a red throne with an ornate gold face-motif carving, and gold kalasha finials and a gold trident stand against a blue starry backdrop. A grey-haired man in white kneels in front, with his head bowed toward the woman. The man in saffron is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) given his long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style beads and garland, seated on the throne while blessing the devotees.
