A photograph of an indoor hall with framed pictures and red-lit walls. A smiling man in a cream turban, red garment and a long dark swept-back hair wears rudraksha malas and a red-and-gold bangle on his raised arm and holds a folded white paper. He reaches out to a young child in an orange top held by a woman with a white forehead mark and gold earrings, who holds up beaded malas. Several onlookers in white and light shirts stand around, including hands pressed together at the left. Probable Swamiji: the cues are the cream turban, long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and red garment.

In the centre, a man in saffron and orange robes with a matching orange-and-gold turban, a gold-and-rudraksha necklace, rudraksha mala beads and gold armbands holds a small white paper and reaches out to touch the forehead of a devotee with folded hands. Other devotees in white and maroon clothing stand nearby, and a man in white with a yellow-bordered dhoti stands at the right edge. Several more people are visible in the background.

He wears a red-and-white rudraksha-style mala and beaded bangles on his upper arms, with a red tilak on his forehead.
