A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red turban and draped rust-red and gold saffron cloth, with a heavy gold beaded necklace, leaning forward to place an arm around a bald, bespectacled man in a white shirt who kneels and bows his head. The man wears a red-and-gold inscribed shawl and an orange-and-gold beaded bracelet. Behind them, several women in white with red-lanyard badges and red shawls stand watching, and a gold-trimmed ritual setting with brass lamps and a silver-toned vessel is visible. The figure in red is a probable Swamiji by appearance, showing a turban, saffron clothing and a gold necklace, while the kneeling man is a devotee receiving blessing.
