A photograph of a devotional reception in a decorated hall. A seated man in an orange saffron robe with a multicoloured and white flower garland sits on a red and gold throne-like chair with flower garlands on its backrest. A devotee in a white shirt, with folded hands and a bowed head, offers obeisance to him. A woman in a white sari with gold border holds a tray of fruit including apples, pomegranates, oranges and lemons. Other men in white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby on a green carpet, and a green and gold drape forms the backdrop. Red apples sit in a wooden box at the lower right. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a probable Swamiji depiction.
