A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, receiving items from a line of people. A woman in a yellow salwar kameez and yellow shawl holds a tray or paper forward with both hands, while a bearded man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a white sari with a mala stand beside her. A standing man in white shirt and a man in light clothing watch at left. The seated figure, who has long dark hair in a bun and is wearing an orange garment, extends a hand toward the offering. Behind them hang a red and white backdrop, a gold-framed image, and a bamboo-roofed canopy with a small brass lamp on a table. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in saffron robes with long hair, a rudraksha-style mala visible on the wrist area of the people nearby.
