A photograph of a seated figure in a red dhoti-style garment with a gold-bordered sash and a long white and red flower garland, with long dark hair, placing a hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt and orange shawl. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable) based on long swept-back hair, a red and gold garment, a flower garland and the satsang setting, and the blessing gesture indicates a darshan-style blessing of a devotee. A burgundy curtain forms the backdrop, and a bald man in white is partly visible at the lower right edge.
