A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange garment with a red undergarment and a white floral garland, raising one hand over the head of a devotee kneeling before them. The devotee wears a dark maroon shawl and dark clothing, and a man in white shirt and white dhoti stands to the left, bending forward and holding the devotee's shoulders. A pineapple-like offering is held near the devotee. Other people in white and cream clothing stand behind, and a woman in white is visible at the back. A large pink and white flower garland drapes the seated figure's shoulder at right. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with pale walls and framed pictures.
