Photograph inside a room with red and orange drapes and a fan, where devotees gather around a seated figure in saffron-red robes wearing a tall white and pink crown and heavy garlands of white and red flowers. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti and rudraksha mala stands behind, and a bare-chested man with a white forehead mark and rudraksha mala in the foreground holds a camera-like object. Women in white and orange saris, one in an orange shawl, stand nearby, and a young boy in a blue shirt kneels among scattered pink petals. A woman at right holds a green fruit, and a basket of limes and cardboard boxes sit on the floor. Seated figure is a Swamiji (probable) based on the tall crown, garlands and saffron-red robe.
