A photograph of an indoor hall where a man in a dark jacket and glasses, with a bandaged left hand, reaches to clasp the outstretched hand of a figure in a rust-orange turban with gold border and a bare-shouldered rust-orange wrap. The turbaned figure wears a long gold necklace, layered rudraksha malas and gold arm bands, and smiles. Several men in striped waistcoats, white shirts and lanyards stand behind, and framed pictures hang on the wall. Swamiji (probable) appears as the turbaned figure, identified by the distinctive ornate turban, rudraksha malas and gold necklace; the other figures are devotees and attendants.
