Indoor photo in a hall with a gold-trimmed throne and dark red drapery. A seated man in a maroon-red turban and maroon garments, with a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, holds an orange over a metal bowl while a woman in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands beside him. Nearby, a woman in a maroon sari and rudraksha mala stands, and a line of devotees waits, including men in white dhoti and shirt, a man in pale trousers with a lanyard, and a woman with a child. A devotee in white kneels on a red-and-blue patterned mat before a cardboard box of oranges, sweets and brass items. The swami appearance is uncertain, so the seated figure is described by role only.
