A night photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-red turban and orange-saffron robes, wearing a multicoloured garland of orange marigolds, white flowers and red beads, receiving offerings. A woman in a white and gold-bordered sari with sandalwood and tilak marks and a rudraksha mala holds out small yellow packets and a plate, while a second woman in saffron clothing with a long rudraksha mala and tilak stands behind. An elderly man in white is partly visible at right. A brass plate with a lamp, rose petals and a flower-decorated golden lion-shaped object sit in front of a golden throne-like chair. A green banana-leaf backdrop and a red and gold banner with a dove motif complete the setting. Probable Swamiji is seated in the throne, identified by the turban, saffron robe, garland and ceremonial seat.
