A photograph of a seated man in a golden crown and pink garment with white and purple flower garlands, placing his right hand on the head of a bowing man in white dhoti and shirt holding a green tray of apples. Behind them a bald man in white with an orange shawl stands beside a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, and a deity murti in pink and gold is decorated with yellow, purple and white garlands on the left.

Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated man: he wears a golden crown, a pink silk garment, a white flower garland, and a gold necklace. The bowing devotee wears a rudraksha mala.
