Outdoor courtyard session under a carved wooden canopy with a red-walled backdrop. A bearded man in a brown-maroon robe sits on a silver-framed couch with a leopard-print cushion, smiling as he offers food from a tray to a young man in orange robes with orange beaded necklaces who reaches out to receive it. Seated around them on the ground are several devotees in orange garments and malas, including a girl in orange and a woman in a yellow and purple sari. A bronze Nataraja statue dancing within a flame arch stands behind the couch, with a hanging oil lamp above. The seated bearded man is a Swamiji (probable) by his long swept-back hair, brown robe and ceremonial setting, offering prasad to a disciple.
