A photograph of a seated man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron shawl over his shoulder, a gold-toned necklace and rudraksha-style beaded malas. He leans forward holding a small ornate gold-coloured object in his hands over a sheet of paper. Beside him to the left, a woman in a white sari with a teal border sits in the background. In the foreground, a silver tray holds red fruit and small silver-toned items, and a gold-patterned chair with an ornate back is visible at right. The background is a plain blue-grey drape. The seated man has distinctive visible cues (long hair, orange clothing, malas, ornate chair) and the page indicates he is present, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) in a pada puja setting.
