A photograph of a devotee presenting an offering to a seated figure on a golden-armed throne in a plain room with a white corrugated wall and an orange-striped wall. The seated person wears an orange-red turban, an orange garment and a long gold-beaded garland, and extends both hands toward the offering. The devotee stands on the right in a white dhoti with a red border and a yellow shawl, wearing a gold beaded necklace and holding a tray with a yellow cloth-wrapped item. A red plastic chair and a flight case sit in the background, with a partial figure visible at the lower left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a turban and saffron-orange clothing, a distinctive appearance cue, so identity is uncertain only for the seated person's role as sannyasi receiving the offering.
