A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe seated on a red velvet throne with gold carved armrests, placing his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling bearded man in a white shirt with a red and gold beaded necklace. A second kneeling devotee in a white and blue garment rests a hand near the recipient's hands. Brass oil lamps with flames stand beside the throne, and a gold-and-red altar ledge lies in the foreground. Several other devotees in white and yellow saris sit in the background near a window. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears long swept-back hair and saffron robes on a throne, a cue-matched presentation.
