A photograph of a long-haired man in a red-orange cloth draped over one shoulder placing his right hand on the forehead of an older, grey-haired man in a white shirt with an orange cord around his neck. The older man holds his left hand raised palm-outward. Behind them, a woman in white stands near a doorway, and a light-coloured room with a plant and a red curtain forms the setting. The scene resembles a blessing or healing touch. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired man, identified by his long swept-back hair and orange-red robe with a beaded neck ornament.
