A photo of a seated figure in a rust-orange turban, wearing an orange-and-gold robe and a beaded rudraksha-style mala necklace, placing a hand on the forehead of a standing man with curly dark hair who has his palms pressed together in namaste. The man wears a white kurta and an orange shawl printed with text. Behind them is a deep red drape and a gilded throne-like chair with ornate carving, and a partially visible woman in orange appears at the right edge. The gesture resembles a blessing or darshan. The seated figure's distinctive turban, orange robe and mala are consistent with the page's claim of Swamiji's presence, so this is a probable identification from appearance cues.
