Indoor photograph of a seated figure receiving honours in a red-walled hall. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a full beard, white forehead markings, a crimson-brown robe and a red-and-white flower garland sits on a red sofa, making a mudra with one hand. Standing around him, devotees in orange and saffron dhotis, white dhotis and purple or white saris present a brass tray with flowers, small oil lamps and bowls, with a garland of yellow and white flowers held nearby. Framed pictures and a gilded canopy are visible behind them. A printed newsletter sits on his lap beside a maroon bag.
