A photograph of a seated man in an orange sleeveless robe on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, receiving fruit from a woman in a white sari with pink dots and gold bangles. A man in a coral shirt stands behind her. On a wooden table beside the throne sit oranges, a water bottle, a small ornate gold vessel and a silver container. The man in orange has long dark hair swept back and a rudraksha-style bead necklace is not visible; he has a bare arm and shoulder with the robe draped over one side. A red drape hangs behind the throne. The scene suggests an offering of fruit during a darshan-style meeting.

He holds a silver plate of offerings while smiling. A woman in a white sari with gold bangles and a dark mala offers a plate, and a young woman in white holds a tray of green fruit.
