A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes with long swept-back dark hair, leaning forward on a golden ornate throne-like seat and smiling as he reaches out to hold the hands of a small girl in a maroon velvet top and white skirt. A man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala stands beside the girl, smiling and bending toward her. Behind them, women in a green-and-blue sari, a white sari with a gold border and a red-bordered sari stand watching. On a golden side table sit a silver tray with apples and sweets. A leopard-print shawl lies over the throne's red cushion. The scene appears to be a devotee gathering in an ashram hall.
