A seated figure in a rust-orange turban with gold trim, a bare-chested orange-brown cloth draped over the shoulders, and a long rudraksha mala places one hand on the bald head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and trousers with a name badge. The seated figure's long dark hair is tied back, and a gold ceremonial piece rests beside them. Behind them, several people in white garments stand or kneel near red curtains, with an air-conditioning unit and a standing fan at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a turban, orange-brown robes, rudraksha mala and gold adornments, giving the appearance of a blessing being given to a devotee.

A figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red draped shawl with a gold trim and a red-and-gold beaded necklace sits on a gold-trimmed seat, placing one hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a name badge. Their other hands are raised in a gesture of blessing. Behind them a seated man in white with a rudraksha mala and a turban-style headwear watches, and standing onlookers in white and casual clothes stand near red drapes. The figure in the red turban shows a candidate appearance: the turban, the red-and-gold shawl, the ornate necklace and the seated throne position give several distinctive ceremonial cues, so this is a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee in a satsang-style darshan setting.2013-11-04
