A photograph of a long-haired man in white robes with a gold-coloured shawl seated on a white-draped bed or dais, smiling and holding out small printed cards to a kneeling woman in a striped pink and black top who is bowing with hands pressed together. A silver tray on the white cloth holds more printed photo cards. Behind them are red and yellow garlands, a red fabric hanging, red and gold cushions, and bouquets of red roses, pink and white flowers. Above is a large banner with partial printed text. The man's distinctive long hair, ornate white collar and gold shawl cues are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) appearance, shown in person as the recipient of devotion.
