A photograph of a seated long-haired man in an orange sleeveless garment and rudraksha mala handing a yellow fruit, possibly a pineapple, into the hands of a woman in a maroon sari with gold necklace and bangles. Beside them a man in white with a red tilak holds out his hands, and a younger man in orange stands behind. A white-draped table holds a tray with sweets, packets, a document and rudraksha beads. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, distinguished by his long swept-back hair, orange garment and rudraksha mala, but the identification rests on appearance alone.
