A man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward, offering a folded light-blue cloth with both hands to a seated figure. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron robe, a white flower garland and long swept-back dark hair, and extends a hand to receive the cloth. Behind them, a woman in an orange shawl and white clothes kneels and smiles, and several men in white dhotis stand or kneel.

The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and a garland, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance, seated as the one receiving the offering.2010-02-17September 04 20132013-09-04June 21 20142014-06-21 +2 copiesJune 24 20142014-06-24 +1 copiesA seated person in a rust-red and maroon garment with a leopard-print cloth wears a long garland of red roses, white flowers and yellow marigolds.
