A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a red tilak, smiling while a devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti bows and offers a large tray of pink flower petals at his bare feet. A woman in a grey-and-green sari smiles beside them and another man in a light shirt stands behind. The room has cream walls, a carved wooden screen, a floral patterned rug, a pale sofa draped with an orange cloth, and a brass deity statue. The orange-robed man has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so he is a probable Swamiji in person, received with flower-petal reverence in a home setting.
