Outdoor photograph at dusk in front of a palm-fringed building with a hillside behind. A man in a white shawl and blue-and-gold brocade garment with a red sash stands in the centre, smiling, with long dark hair swept back and a garland of pink roses, white jasmine and rudraksha beads. Another man in an orange robe with a bald head and white forehead markings holds a bundle of green leaves toward him, and a bearded man in orange also offers leaves. Devotees in saffron and blue saris and white shirts watch from behind. Swamiji (probable) appears as the central figure receiving the offering, with long swept-back hair, ornate brocade clothing and a rudraksha-and-flower garland.
