A photo of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, wearing rudraksha and gold bead malas, reaching out a hand with a small offering toward a standing boy in white dhoti with a saffron sash and red-orange beaded garland. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold and red throne with a microphone stand nearby, and a silver tray with offerings rests on his lap. Behind them are a garlanded deity murti, golden floral arches and red roses in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by his long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha and gold malas and throne seat; he is the event's presiding guest. The boy receives prasadam with cupped hands.
