A photograph inside a room with framed deity paintings on the walls and a golden throne at right. A man in orange-red robes with a long wrapped turban and long swept-back hair sits on a leopard-print seat, holding his hands together, with a brass bull figure and a tray of fruit in front of him. To the left, an older man in white with an orange shawl holds open a booklet while a man in white in a suit and glasses stands at the edge. Behind them, a priest in orange with a rudraksha mala stands beside a shirtless attendant wearing white and gold beads. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the orange robes, ornate turban and long hair; a sign-free scene of ashram hospitality.
