A seated man with long dark hair wears an orange-brown saffron wrap over his shoulder, a white floral garland and a beaded brown waist band, and a tilak on his forehead. He holds a rudraksha mala up toward a kneeling devotee in a white kurta, who leans forward with palms raised. Trays of fruit and sweets sit in front, with a silver ceremonial staff and cooling units behind. Probable Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha mala are visible cues, and he is the one giving the mala. Two people are visible, with a partially visible third in the foreground.
