Photograph of a seated man in rust-red saffron-toned robes and a long pink flower garland, with a gold chain and rudraksha-style beads, seated on an ornate silver carved sofa with red velvet cushions. Two people in white attend him: a man in white kneeling at the lower left and a woman in a white sari with gold border seated at the lower right, pouring water from a small silver vessel over his feet, with a silver puja tray holding flowers and small bowls nearby. Behind are a bronze lamp stand, a stone bull statue and a red wall. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identifiable by his long swept-back hair, ochre robes, gold chain and rudraksha beads, and he is the main subject of a padapuja-style foot-washing ritual.
