A photograph indoors in a whitewashed room decorated with white, purple and green floral garlands and a strand of green mango leaves. A figure in a bright orange-red turban, orange-red robe, a long white and maroon flower garland and a gold pendant stands centre-right holding a green leaf; the garland and orange clothing give an appearance-based probable Swamiji. Around him, men in white dhotis and white shirts smile, one with a gold bangle; a woman in a sari with a gold border kneels at lower centre, and a woman in orange robe and a young man in orange shawl stand at right, all in orange sannyasi-style clothing. A white plastic chair sits near the doorway. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure receiving the greeting.
