A photograph of a figure seated on an ornate golden throne (peetha) with lion-head armrests, backed by a large arch of marigold and white flower garlands with a trident (trishul) on the left. The seated figure wears a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl, a long beaded necklace, and has long dark hair; he is smiling and holding a small glass plaque or award with an image. A younger man in a white t-shirt and light blue jeans stands before the throne presenting the plaque. Brass lamps and flower-decorated golden stands surround the dais. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a gold-bordered shawl and a beaded necklace, seated on a throne in a felicitation setting.
