A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange shawl and a multicolored flower garland, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushioning. He extends his hands to receive an offering from an elderly man in a white cap and white kurta, who bows and presents fruit. Behind them, women in saris and western-style clothing stand with palms pressed together, a cameraman films from a tripod, and a brass vessel and small dish sit on the red floor cloth in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange shawl and a floral garland on a throne, consistent with the page's identification.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes wears a multi-coloured flower garland with yellow and red blooms and a rudraksha mala, laughing as he reaches to take an apple from a woman in a green and teal sari with bright border. He sits on a red velvet seat before an ornate gold carved backrest. Beside him a woman in orange sari and beaded mala holds a red metal bowl, and a camera operator and other onlookers stand behind in a red-draped tent. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, garland and mala matches the Swamiji (probable) cues, so he is identified by appearance only, and he is seated in a ceremonial setting receiving an offering.2016-04-27 +1 copiesApril 27 20162016-04-27A seated man in saffron robes and a long rudraksha mala with a multicolour flower garland sits on a red-cushioned golden throne, smiling as he offers a red fruit to a woman in a green sari with a patterned border who bows with folded hands.
