A photograph of a long-haired man in a red shawl and red top, with a red bindi, a white pearl necklace, gold pendant and rudraksha malas, smiling as he receives a folded white paper from an older man in a white shirt who holds his palms cupped together. Behind them, shaven-headed men in white and an orange-robed monk stand near a silver tray at the bottom edge. The man in red has long swept-back hair and a crown-free but ornate, distinctive presentation with multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the central role of receiving a petition. Background includes yellow and orange drapes.
