A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red turban and saffron robes, wearing a long multicoloured garland of orange, green, white and blue flowers and a gold necklace, seated on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold backrest. A woman in a white sari with an orange shawl and glasses leans in from the right, offering or handing over a small golden card or envelope while he reaches toward it. A brass plate with a small lamp sits on the red cloth below. Banana leaves and an orange-and-green cloth hang behind them, with a large crowd of seated devotees in white visible in the dim background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears an orange turban, saffron robes and a garland on a throne, with a gold necklace, so the cues are present but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
