A photograph of a seated figure on a golden throne with a red cushion, in front of a large floral backdrop of orange, yellow, red and purple marigolds and white flowers. The seated man wears an orange robe, a white flower garland and a red and white tilak on his forehead, and sits with hair falling to his shoulders. A man in a white shirt and an older man in orange and peach robes bow and touch the seated figure's feet. Several women and girls in white saris and white outfits with orange or yellow borders stand nearby, one holding a brass tray. The scene resembles a formal darshan or padapuja. The seated man matches the appearance cues of Swamiji (probable), with long hair, orange clothing and a garland, and is a seated figure receiving devotees.
