A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap and red sleeveless undershirt, smiling, reaching forward to receive an offering from a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti. The kneeling man holds a small object in his hands and wears a red thread on his wrist. Behind them a standing attendant in orange robes holds a wooden tray with flowers, a small steel bowl, a clock and a water bottle. The backdrop shows a painted temple tower and a tree, with gold ornamental carving at right and a red cushioned seat. Garlands of flowers rest on the seat below. The seated man in orange is a probable Swamiji by appearance: long swept-back dark hair and saffron clothing, with a sannyasi role in a ceremonial setting.
