A photograph taken at night indoors shows a seated figure in an orange robe with an orange and red shawl and orange flower garland, placing both palms on the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and a gold wristwatch. The man's hands are pressed together in anjali. Behind them a person in white and orange stands, and a partly visible figure in colourful clothing appears at the top. Flowers and greenery surround the seat. The seated figure has long dark hair and gives blessing, matching the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha adornment.
