A photograph in a hall with dark red velvet drapes. A long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe sits barefoot on a white-cushioned chair at right, hands resting on their lap. Three men in white ritual clothes stand before them: one in a white shirt and dhoti offering a folded white cloth and a jasmine garland with red flowers, another in a saffron shawl over white clothes presenting a garland, and a third in white with a necklace behind. A wooden platform holds a garland, flower-printed bags, a plastic bag reading Anglo French, a small clock and a glass. A white standing fan and a cable stand sit at left and right. Swamiji (probable): the seated long-haired figure wears saffron-orange robes and receives the garlands, matching the page's Ananda Tapas Convention context.
