A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing long saffron-orange robes, long dark swept-back hair and a pale cloth-wrapped figure beside him; he is receiving or looking at a small white gift box from a smiling woman in a yellow silk sari with a dark green border and bangles. Behind them, a young boy in a green embroidered jacket and white trousers bends forward holding small items, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl and mala stands near a table holding a tray. A man in white robes with a yellow-beaded garland and orange vessel stands at left, and a bald man in white is partly visible behind. Red apples sit on a gold-edged tray at right, and a forest and temple-carving backdrop fills the wall. Swamiji (probable) appears seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ornate throne setting.
