A photograph of a seated man in an orange sleeveless robe on an ornate gold throne with red cushioning, receiving a tray of offerings from a woman in a lavender-and-white floral sari with gold bangles and a beaded necklace who holds her hands in anjali. Behind her stand a man in a white shirt with a blue beaded necklace, a woman in a pink-and-white sari, a younger man in a red t-shirt, and another woman in a green patterned sari. A gold-and-red backdrop frames the scene, with a small tray of fruit and other offerings on a gold stand beside the throne. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, wears saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, which supports a probable identification as Swamiji.
