A photograph of a seated figure on a red-upholstered throne receiving devotees outdoors under a canopy. The seated figure wears saffron-orange robes, a long swept-back dark hair, and a beaded rudraksha-style garland with a gold ceremonial necklace; the appearance cues are sufficient for a probable Swamiji candidate. He extends his hand toward a crowd. Around him, devotees in saffron and white clothes press forward; a woman in a red sari stands with her hands folded, and a man in white with a red shawl raises both hands in greeting at right. A bald man in saffron and a devotee in white with a red shawl kneel or bow near the throne's base. A small book rests on the throne's side, and flags and palm fronds are visible behind the crowd.
