A photograph of an outdoor ashram courtyard under a corrugated metal roof. A man in orange-brown robes, a long gold-bead necklace and hair tied up sits in an orange armchair, one hand resting on his thigh and the other placed on the head of a young man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a white shirt with an orange shawl and bends forward, hands clasped near the seated figure's feet. Behind them, several men in white shirts and orange scarves stand, and a cameraman in white films the scene on a tripod-mounted camera. Green banana leaves and scattered petals lie on the paved floor, a red-and-white building stands behind, and a cardboard box of wrapped sweets sits at right. The seated figure is probable Swamiji, identified by the long hair knot, gold-bead necklace and orange robes, and presented as the one receiving devotees in this blessing scene.
