Two men exchange a white document on a decorated stage under a canopy of marigolds and red flowers. The man on the left wears a white kurta and a patterned shawl over the shoulders and stands with arms extended. The man on the right wears a rust-orange robe, an orange turban and a long dark braid, and holds the other end of the paper. Both stand between two red and white upholstered chairs with carved silver arms. Behind them stand a golden-brown deity murti surrounded by garlands, and a lamp-lit altar with a gold cloth. Marigold and white flower garlands line the stage edge, and purple lighting and framed portraits decorate the walls. The orange-robed man is probable Swamiji by the turban, long hair and saffron clothing, and he is presenting or receiving a formal document.
