A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron sleeveless garment on a gilded throne with a red cushion, leaning forward to take an object from a man in a white kurta with a red-beaded rudraksha-style mala at his neck. The man in white holds a dark wooden tray or box extended toward the seated figure. Behind them, a woman with dark hair looks on near a green doorway, and a draped red curtain with a carved column motif forms the backdrop. Fruits and a brass or silver offering plate sit on a low table in front. The seated figure shows distinctive long swept-back hair, a saffron garment and ornate gold-throne seating, matching Swamiji (probable) as the seated person; the standing man in white is a devotee presenting an offering.
