Photo of a guest in a white shirt, grey trousers and an orange-and-maroon shawl standing and presenting a wrapped golden gift with a purple ribbon to a seated man. The seated man wears a maroon robe, a long brown beaded mala, a gold pendant necklace and red-cushioned golden throne armrests; he has long swept-back hair, a crown-like adornment absent, and appears to be smiling. Behind them a large golden relief carving of a seated deity with a club-like staff and jewelled ornaments fills the wall, with a water bottle, a white cup and a dark side table in front. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified only by compatible cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, rudraksha-style mala and saffron-maroon robes on a golden throne.
