A photograph in a bright hall with pink walls and fluorescent ceiling lights. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange-saffron shawl with a gold-yellow border, multiple rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and gold bangles, stands at right, handing a small white envelope to a man in a white shirt who presses his palms together in greeting. Another man in white stands at left, also with palms joined, and other attendees stand behind. Near the foreground, an open box holds packets and apples. A woman in an orange sari with dark beaded necklaces stands at far right holding a black folder. Several people in the background wear white and orange. The swamiji cue combines the swept-back hair, saffron shawl and beaded necklaces, so the figure is described as a probable Swamiji in person receiving or giving a donation.
