A photograph of an indoor room with a red curtain, white door and a sofa draped in cream fabric. A man with long dark hair, bare-chested under an orange-red shawl, wears a gold-coloured necklace and multiple rudraksha malas, and sits on the sofa while extending a hand to take a printed form from a devotee. Swamiji (probable): this seated figure shows long swept-back hair, an orange-red shawl and ornate gold-and-bead necklaces. Around him, devotees in white kurtas and dhotis kneel or stand; one bespectacled man in white and a man in a white shirt kneel on the floor, and a bald man in orange sits at the lower left. A standing man on the right wears a white outfit with a rudraksha mala. A printed page with a red-and-white header is being exchanged, with another document on the floor.
