Close photograph of a man with long, dark, swept-back hair wearing an orange sleeveless garment, seen from behind and slightly to the side, with his hand raised and resting on the head of a seated man in a yellow shirt who has his eyes closed and a faint smile. The orange-clad figure has a visible back and shoulder; the seated man is in the left foreground with a blurred background of other people. The appearance-based cues of long swept-back hair and orange clothing are consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) performing a blessing gesture of touching the head of a devotee.
