A photograph inside a hall with a stage backdrop of maroon drapes and white swags with colourful tassels. A figure in saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha-style orange beaded mala, and a heavy ceremonial gold bead necklace, with long swept-back hair and a red bindi, smiles while extending a hand in blessing over the head of an older man in white who bows with folded hands. Other saffron-robed attendants, a shaved-headed man with white tilak, and white-clad devotees stand nearby, with a crowd behind a metal rail. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-robed figure giving blessings, identified by the long hair, ornate gold necklace and orange robes.
