A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a red tiger-stripe cushion, against a lime-green backdrop. The seated man has long swept-back dark hair, wears an orange-saffron robe and a white flower garland, and places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt who bows before him. A second man in white kneels in the lower left foreground. Two women stand at right: one in a yellow shawl, the other in a white saree with gold border, a rudraksha mala and a bindi. A table holds a vase of pink and white flowers and a red cloth with offerings. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair, saffron robe and garland cues, so he is a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee. Pink lotus motifs appear on the wall.
