A photograph of a darshan blessing in a red-curtained hall with an ornate silver backdrop. A man with long dark hair, white forehead markings with a red dot, a dark beard and a flower garland in yellow, green, purple and white sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of an ornate silver backdrop, eyes closed, raising his right hand in abhaya mudra on the head of a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a white sacred thread who kneels with his back to the camera. To the left, a person with dreadlocked hair in a bun, white body markings and a saffron-and-white cloth holds a hand near the kneeling devotee's shoulder, and another hand is visible at the seat's edge. Several figures are present, including one kneeling devotee and two attendants. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues (long swept-back hair, ornate garland, saffron-toned robe).
