A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he places his right hand on the forehead of a younger man in a white kurta. The seated man sits on a red cushioned seat before golden ornate arches and a garland of yellow and red flowers. The standing devotee has his hands joined in front of him. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron robes with a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's reference, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable).
