A photograph of an indoor hall with a maroon curtain backdrop and a gold throne-like seat in the background. A man in a rust-red shawl with long gold beaded necklaces and a long dark swept-back hair, with white horizontal tilak on forehead, extends his right hand with a gold bangle to bless a man in a pale pink shirt who bows his head. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, a red-orange shawl and ornate gold necklaces, cues consistent with the page's identification. To the left, a man in a striped shirt and glasses watches with hands clasped, and another devotee in a checked shirt stands with palms pressed together. A priest in white dhoti with a white-marked forehead stands at right.
