A photograph of an indoor hall with draped fabric ceiling and decorative banners. A man with a bare torso wearing a rust-red sannyasi shawl, a long white and orange flower garland, a gold bead necklace, and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead smiles while handing an orange fruit to a man in a white striped shirt. Beside them a woman in a maroon sari with gold border and a man in white stand with hands folded. Probable Swamiji: the figure has long swept-back hair and a distinctive rust-red sannyasi shawl with gold beaded necklace and garland, and is presented as the giver of the fruit. In the background, a woman in red and several people in white clothes stand near a glass display case and lit deity shrine.
