A photograph in a bright hall with pink walls and red-curtained windows. A man in a peach kurta and glasses bows low with his hands joined, while a figure in an orange-and-gold dhoti and shawl, wearing a gold-beaded necklace and gold armlets, reaches out to touch his head in blessing. The figure has long dark hair and is smiling broadly. Standing behind them are several devotees: a woman in white with a yellow border, a shaved-headed man in saffron, a woman in a red shawl, and others in white, blue and grey. The orange-and-gold figure appears to be in the role of Swamiji (probable) on appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron-and-gold ornate clothing and gold necklaces, while the bowing man is a devotee receiving blessing.
