A small plain room with cream walls and a metal shelving unit on the right holding brass oil lamps, jars and bottles. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha-style bead mala and a red tilak sits cross-legged on a pink cloth on the floor, smiling. Two women stand at right with palms pressed together in namaskar: the nearer one wears a red and gold patterned sari, the other a yellow sari with a red bindi. Steel vessels and a small tray with offerings sit on the floor before the seated man. The image is a photograph; the seated man shows distinctive long hair and saffron robes with bead ornaments, a probable Swamiji in person, though appearance is only partly clear.
