Indoor photograph in a wood-panelled room with a mirror and white marble floor. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a long white flower garland and a red-orange sash sits on a cushioned chair, smiling, with a red mat at his feet. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends low to touch his feet, while a younger man in orange sits on the floor beside a wooden tray. Behind them, several women in saris stand watching: one in yellow-orange, one in red, one in blue, one in gold and red, with a white flower in a bun. A yellow-iced cake sits on a side table at left. The saffron-robed man is labelled as a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a flower garland.
