Indoor photo in a yellow-walled hall with a staircase behind. A seated man with swept-back dark hair, wearing a maroon-brown cloth, a long garland of red, white and yellow flowers, a gold chain with pendant, gold bangles and earrings, smiles toward a devotee. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and flower garland. Standing beside him, a shaved-headed priest in a saffron-orange and brown dhoti and shawl wears a rudraksha mala and bangles, hands folded. A devotee in a yellow t-shirt bends forward holding an offering plate. At right, a man in white with folded hands and a photographer in orange shirt with a camera stand nearby; a crowd watches from the staircase and a garlanded deity murti is visible in the background.
