A photograph of a man in an orange-red turban and saffron-orange robe, wearing a heavy garland of white flowers, red roses and green leaves, standing indoors. He smiles while an elderly man in white dhoti and shirt, wearing wire-rimmed glasses, offers him a folded envelope or card with both hands. Behind them a white-clad attendant with a purple shawl reaches in, a bald saffron-clad monk stands at right, and a golden throne with a red curtain is visible. Several men in white shirts and visitor badges crowd the scene. The man in saffron appears to be a probable Swamiji (probable), shown in orange turban, garland and saffron robe, receiving an offering from a devotee.
