A seated figure with long dark hair, wearing a rust-brown shawl and a red-and-yellow beaded necklace with rudraksha-style beads, places one hand on the forehead of a man in a white striped shirt who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji (appearance cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style malas, ornate gold-toned adornments) giving a blessing. Behind, a man in white ritual dhoti with a red tilak sits watching, and another man in white with an orange lanyard stands in the background near a wall and window.
