A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron garment with a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, seated on a dark red velvet cushioned throne, placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white t-shirt and dark lanyard. The boy, with his palms joined near his chest, stands before him. Behind them, several girls and young women in pink, yellow and magenta clothing stand in a hall, some with hands raised. The man in orange appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, and the scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment.
