A photograph at a temple-style hall where a line of devotees stands behind metal stanchions and chains. In the centre, a man in saffron-orange robes and a cream turban, with long hair, rudraksha malas and gold-toned beads, holds up a folded white paper while another saffron-clad attendant beside him holds a red tray. A shaved-headed man in orange cloth stands behind them, and a devotee in a white shirt presses his palms together in greeting. Orange and maroon striped drapes with decorative panels hang in the background. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the figure in the turban, identified by his long hair, cream turban, saffron robes and rudraksha malas, here presenting a paper to devotees during darshan-style interaction.
