A photograph of a long-haired man with dreadlocks, a red-orange shawl wrapped over his shoulders, and multi-strand rudraksha malas with a gold necklace, seated before a silver lion-shaped throne and a silver-patterned backdrop. He smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt with a red cloth around his neck, who is bowing forward. A red tilak mark is on the man's forehead. The man's long hair, orange-red garments and rudraksha malas match the Swamiji (probable) cues, and he appears to be giving a blessing. The stage setting and leopard-print fabric suggest a darshan. One adult and one child are visible.
