Indoor photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with a red bindi, standing as a white-clad devotee in a white sherwani and glasses places his hands on his waist while another devotee in orange-yellow kneels to adjust a long white and red jasmine garland draped from his shoulders. A marigold and rose flower arrangement lies on the floor in front. Wooden carved window panels and a framed carved wooden doorway with a garland-draped top are behind, and another saffron-robed attendant stands at the left edge. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ceremonial garland; the figure is being honoured with flowers in a pada puja style setting.
