A photograph of a seated figure in orange-red robes with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, dressed in orange and ochre sannyasi clothing, extending a hand forward as a man in a white shirt and grey trousers bends to receive something from his palms. Behind them a standing man in orange robes with a white tilak watches, and a kneeling woman in a white sari with a red-and-gold saree border sits to the left. Other women in white and pink saris, a young girl in a light blue dress and a white-clad woman stand or sit in the background against a pale wall. A gold-edged orange cloth hangs behind the seated figure, and a small silver dish is at the right edge. A blue sign reading "Silence please" is on the wall. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, white ash markings on the arms and forehead, and a gold necklace. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a rudraksha mala, gold ceremonial necklace, orange robes and long swept-back hair.
