A photograph of two men in a seated exchange on a red-cushioned throne-like seat before a gilded carved backdrop and a brass oil lamp. The man on the left wears a saffron-yellow silk garment over one shoulder, a gold armlet, a red tilak mark on the forehead and long swept-back hair; he holds a small gold object and leans forward toward the man on the right, who is bald, wears white clothing and kneels with cupped hands to receive it. A basket of flowers sits in the background. The sequence suggests an offering or blessing exchange at a ceremony. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in saffron-yellow garments with long swept-back hair, a red tilak and gold armlet, shown giving the object to a devotee.

A brass kalasha-style lamp, flower petals, fruits and oil lamps sit on the golden table, and a blue backdrop with a wavy light pattern fills the background. Two girls in white and yellow outfits stand near the table.
