A photograph taken indoors in a small room with a tiled wall, white-painted door frames and a red-and-white checked tablecloth. A long-haired figure in an orange saffron garment with a wrap over the shoulder sits on a wicker chair, wearing a thick garland of white flowers, red blooms and green leaves, with hands extended toward a brass pot-shaped vessel topped with white jasmine garlands, red flowers and a lemon. Three standing men in white shirts and white dhotis watch; the elderly man at centre wears a wristwatch and a pen in his shirt pocket, and a man at the right edge points. On the wall behind hangs a red Tamil calendar showing a deity image and the number 21/26. Swamiji's presence is shown only by the appearance-based cues of the seated figure's long hair, saffron clothing and garland; the seated figure is described here as the probable subject.
