A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace, smiling as two male attendants in saffron clothing hold and present a white paper packet to him. He sits before an ornate gold throne with red and white floral garlands, and a brass bowl stands at the left. Probable Swamiji's appearance cues are present (long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala, gold necklace), so this figure is described as Swamiji (probable) receiving an offering from two disciples during a Gurupoornima-era event. Three people are visible.
