A photograph of a devotional gathering indoors. A man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a white robe with gold trim and sits kneeling on a red patterned rug on a raised wooden platform, smiling warmly as he leans toward an elderly woman in a grey hooded wrap who bends forward, holding a walker, and reaches toward him. Behind them, standing women in green salwar kameez, orange and white outfits, and a man in white with a pendant stand with hands folded in greeting. A gold-trimmed sofa, flower arrangement, and a small tray of offerings are at right, with a large framed portrait on the wall above. Probable Swamiji (probable) appears as the kneeling man, identifiable by long swept-back hair and white robe with gold trim, seated in a receiving role.
