A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap with a bare chest, wearing a long necklace of large gold beads over an orange-gold cloth, with white and red tilak marks on his forehead. He smiles and touches the face of a man in a white-and-green striped shirt standing close in front of him. Behind them, another man in a red shirt presses his palms together, and a video camera operator in the right foreground films the moment. A dark curtain hangs behind the stage area with a patterned yellow and blue banner at top left. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, bare chest, orange ornate clothing and gold bead necklace fit the page's identification of the central figure as Swamiji, who is present in person and blessing a devotee.

He smiles. Behind them, other devotees wait, a man in white stands near a gold-decorated seat or throne, and a red curtain and stage area are visible.
