A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red garment with a sash and a long garland of white and pink flowers, with a white vertical mark on the forehead, placing a palm on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt whose hands are pressed together in namaste. The seated figure holds a small folded white paper in the other hand, possibly a prasad or packet. Background shows other seated devotees in saffron and white robes and a bright hall, with a partly visible gold object at the lower left. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair in a bun, orange-red robes, flower garland and rudraksha-style adornment, shown in a blessing gesture.
