A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, in front of a backdrop of garlands of white, yellow, pink and purple flowers. He wears an orange saffron robe, a long white and pink flower garland with a tilak on his forehead, and gold bangles. Three people stand or lean toward him: a man on the left in a white checked shirt, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border and a long braid who gestures toward him. The seated man's distinctive saffron robe and swept-back long hair are cues to a probable Swamiji; he is seated as the focus of attention in a ceremonial setting, with the attendants around him.
