Photograph of a seated figure in a red-brown dhoti-style garment and a long brown rudraksha-style mala, with the upper body bare, leaning forward to place his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt. The seated figure sits on a red velvet throne with gold carved armrest details, beside a silver peacock-topped staff. Behind them is a green leafy plant, a pedestal fan, and a decorated altar with garlands. Oranges and sweets sit on a tray at right. A woman in a white sari with a tilak and beaded necklace stands at the right edge. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne giving blessings, with long swept-back hair, a mala, and a bare upper body with a red-brown wrap.
