A photograph in an ashram hall with pillars hung with orange and multicoloured tassels. A man with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange saffron garment with a maroon border stands at centre, wearing rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, and holds a tray of offerings. He reaches out to touch the head of a man in a red-and-white striped shirt who bows with folded hands. Other devotees in white dhotis and white clothing stand nearby, including a grey-haired man in a red shirt and a shaved-headed man at left with folded hands. A tray of plates is held at lower right. The scene looks like darshan or blessing. Cues for the central figure are long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.
