A photograph of an indoor ceremony with a large pink lotus backdrop and a vase of yellow and pink flowers. A figure with long dark hair, draped in a red and gold silk shawl with a garland of white flowers, sits and bows forward with hands joined. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a red and gold shawl bends over to touch or hold the seated figure's hands, smiling. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand behind them, and a framed portrait hangs on the right. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure with long swept-back hair, a red-gold shawl and a flower garland; the figure is the recipient of the gesture, a traditional honouring of a guru, and the man bending over is a devotee or attendant. About six people are visible in the scene.

Behind him stand potted plants with orange flowers on a black metal stand, a tall plume grass in a vase, and a dark red curtain. The setting appears to be a hall with a raised stage, and the lower corner shows the back of another person's head. No visible printed name appears on the badge.

A smiling man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a cream cushioned seat backed by a large round pale cushion at night, with a microphone on a stand beside him. He wears white robes with a white wrap over one shoulder, a gold bead necklace, and a small red dot on his forehead, his hands resting in his lap. Behind him are a dark sky, a lamp post and blurred lights, and an orange cord runs across the stage. The shot suggests an evening discourse or satsang, though his identity is not established by visible cues alone.
