An indoor photograph in a marble-floored room. A man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward, offering a folded light-blue cloth with both hands to a seated figure. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron robe, a white flower garland and long swept-back dark hair, and extends a hand to receive the cloth. Behind them, a woman in an orange shawl and white clothes kneels and smiles, and several men in white dhotis stand or kneel. A camera operator in the upper left films the exchange, and a red tray holding fruit sits at right. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and a garland, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance, seated as the one receiving the offering.
