A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a white flower garland, seated on a red-cushioned throne decorated with white and red flowers. He extends his hand to offer something to a bowing man in a white shirt and white dhoti who touches his hand to his forehead. Behind them a man in an orange turban and orange cloth stands with a rudraksha mala, and a woman in a white sari with a red bindi smiles at right. A birthday-style cake with red berries sits on a side table at left, next to a brass ornament and flower garlands. Red curtains and a white flower garland frame the stage. Probable Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a garland, matching the throne-seated presentation.
