A photograph taken in a covered stone corridor with carved pillars and a wooden roof. Centre stands a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a saffron-orange robe and a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant; his hands are folded at his chest, and his cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji in person. To his left stands an older man in white dhoti and shirt, and at the far left and right are men bare-chested in white dhotis with sacred ash and tilaka on their foreheads; the man on the far right holds a leaf-wrapped offering. Another man in an orange shawl stands behind the right side, and a bespectacled man in a white shirt with a cross-shaped pendant stands beside the central figure's left shoulder.
