He extends his right arm to touch the forehead of a seated man with short dark hair and a beard, while another person's hair is visible in the foreground and a hand holds a white card or paper. The background is a plain reddish-brown wall.

The seated man smiles with eyes closed. Behind them are gold-coloured ornate panels, a red carpet, a white wall-mounted air conditioner and a standing fan. A second person in white clothes with a rudraksha mala is partly visible at the right edge. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with a person, with an orange turban, orange robes and a flower garland, but the photo does not establish this; he is shown giving a blessing to a devotee in a blessing or satsang setting.2015-09-27October 25 20152015-10-25April 30 20182018-04-30September 14 20152015-09-14A seated bare-chested figure in an orange-red turban and a dark orange-red robe with a yellow sash, wearing layered beaded rudraksha-style malas and a gold necklace, places his right palm on the forehead of a kneeling man in white kurta with orange-patterned shawl, hands in anjali mudra.
