A photograph at an indoor gathering shows a figure with long, wavy dark hair wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange garment, leaning forward and placing a hand on the head of a boy in a white shirt with a name badge. The boy stands with head bowed. Beside them a young man in a white shirt and light blue top watches, and a bald man in white garments with an orange sash stands behind. Two men in yellow vests and a green-covered structure with gold trim appear at the right edge. The long-haired figure with a saffron garment has distinctive long swept hair and saffron clothing, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues, performing a blessing touch on the boy. Several more people stand in the background.
