A photograph of a stage event with a bright painted sky backdrop. A man in white shirt and white dhoti, wearing glasses, leans forward and hands a folded white cloth or paper to a long-haired man in orange robes draped with a leopard-print shawl, wearing a gold necklace. The long-haired man stands beside a gold velvet throne-style chair with dark carved armrests. A trident and a small metal stand sit nearby, and the stage edge is decorated with marigold and orange flower garlands. Two people are in the scene; the orange-robed man displays distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a leopard shawl and a gold necklace, matching the Swamiji (probable) cues, while the white-clad man is a devotee presenting an offering.
