Photograph of two men in front of a large floral backdrop of yellow marigolds, red and purple flowers. On the left, a man with long dark hair, bare-chested in a cream shawl over an orange-brown dhoti, wears a thick red and yellow flower garland and gold bangles, holding up a grey silk cloth with gold border. On the right, a bearded man in an orange turban and white kurta wears a red and pink flower garland and receives the cloth. A brass oil lamp stands at right against a stone wall with carved plants. The left figure shows distinctive long hair, adornments and orange-brown clothing, so the appearance-based label applies: Swamiji (probable), in person, presenting the cloth.
