His right hand is raised to the forehead of a young man in a pink collared shirt who leans in with both hands raised. A brass oil lamp stands at right, a water bottle sits behind the throne, and a colourful light-burst backdrop fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas, matching a sannyasi giving blessing in this setting.2011-09-17A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron shawl and red tiger-striped cloth, with long swept-back black hair and a rudraksha mala, placing his right hand on the head of a man in a navy and white striped polo shirt who has his palms pressed together in reverence. The seated figure holds a small white card in his left hand. Several other people in orange and white clothing sit blurred behind them against a maroon curtain. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment.

In the foreground a raised hand is partly visible. Behind them are a red-and-white backdrop and fruit on a tray at the right. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the blessing gesture, with his long hair, saffron shawl and rudraksha malas as cues, while the seated devotee receives blessing on his head.2011-02-26A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron shawl and rudraksha malas, with a white-painted forehead and a red bindi, seated near an ornate gold throne-back with red upholstery. He extends his right hand to rest on the head of a seated person in a grey top, whose head is seen from behind. A red banner with partial lettering stands in the background.
