A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange shawl and a rust-orange wrap, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi with white tilak, while a younger man in a white T-shirt with curly dark hair stands behind him with one hand raised to the seated man's head in a blessing or touching gesture. The seated man has long dark hair and is looking down with eyes closed. Behind them is a large ornate gold carved backdrop against deep red velvet drapery. Visible cues on the seated figure include long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance, shown in person during a ritual-like touching session. Only two physical people are visible.
