A night-time outdoor photo of a seated man in an orange sleeveless robe draped with a leopard-print shawl, his long dark hair tied back, smiling and pressing his palms together toward an older bearded man in white kurta with glasses and a tilak on his forehead. Between them is a low table with red apples, wrapped candies, banknotes, a water bottle and a bag. Behind them, rows of women in white and yellow saris stand near a red floor cloth, with a tall decorated pillar and string lights in the background. The orange-robed figure matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a leopard shawl, and sits as the person receiving guests.
