Indoor photo of a seated person in a rust-orange robe with rudraksha malas around the neck and a red thread on the wrist, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaskar. The seated figure holds a yellow bundled cord and sits beside a peacock-feather fan and a gold kalasha-style vessel. Behind them a framed portrait shows an orange-turbaned figure in a golden frame, and a blue banner with white script hangs on the wall. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, distinguished by the rust robe, multiple rudraksha malas and swept-back hair; the kneeling man receives blessing with folded hands. Two other people in white are partly visible at the right edge.

Behind them stand a silver trident and a carved wooden staff with a serpent, a gold lion-like sculpture sits at left, and red drapes hang behind.

The seated man has long swept-back hair and a red wrist thread. Behind them is a golden deity figure, a peacock feather fan and red floral decor.

The seated figure has hair tied in a bun with a red band and a white forehead mark, and an ornate gold object with a lion-like shape is visible at lower left. Behind the pair, a woman in a dark top watches, and a white screen fills the right background.
