A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron garment with a rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, placing one hand on the head of a small child in red kneeling before him, while the other hand rests on the head of a standing man in a dark polo shirt. A woman in a white shawl over a blue embroidered blouse with a hair clip stands at right, and another person is partly visible at far left in white. The seated figure is on an upholstered cream chair with a dark carved wooden frame, against a dark blue curtain. The scene appears to be a blessing or head-touching gesture, which matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads.
