A photograph taken in an indoor hall at night. A long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe sits on a white-draped seat and gently holds the face of a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti, who is kneeling close in front of them. A microphone on a stand is at the lower left, a standing fan is behind the seat, and a line of white-clad people stands along the back wall. A green banner with partial English text is at the left edge.

The seated figure sits on a red cushioned throne-like seat beside an ornate gold chair and a brass oil lamp with a lit flame. Microphones sit in the foreground, and a camera operator and seated devotees appear in the background. Cues such as the orange robe, long swept-back hair and seated position support a probable Swamiji identification, presented here only as an appearance-based label. The white-clad recipient has a blue lanyard around his neck. The setting is a hall with a beige wall and a dark curtain at left.2010-12-02February 07 20102010-02-07May 14 20132013-05-14November 30 20052005-11-30July 04 20132013-07-04A photograph of an indoor gathering in dim, warm light.

The standing devotee has his palms pressed together in namaste, wears a beaded rudraksha-style mala and a gold bangle, and bows his head toward the seated figure. Behind them are a dark purple curtain and white cushions, with folded orange towels on the seat. The scene suggests a blessing exchange at a stage event.
