A photograph in a gilded, red-and-gold ceremonial hall. A seated man in a maroon-and-saffron robe with a long swept-back hairstyle, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace reaches out to take a red apple from a bowing devotee. A shaved-headed man in saffron robes with a brown shawl and rudraksha mala leans in to assist, and a third man in a grey waistcoat over white clothes bends low in the foreground. Behind them stands a large gold-and-red throne with red velvet cushions and gilded lion-like armrests. A backdrop banner shows a smiling figure in an orange turban with rudraksha malas, and the banner text reads partly "Lenin...". The seated man's appearance matches a person with distinctive long hair, rudraksha and gold ornaments, presented as a sannyasi receiving an offering.
