A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, its arch decorated with red, white, yellow and green flower garlands. He wears layered gold-bead necklaces, a gold pendant, gold armlets and a saffron turban, and holds a silver staff upright beside him. Two devotees are partly visible at the lower edges, and a small brass lamp sits at the left edge. Probable Swamiji sits in the central throne position, with long swept-back hair, saffron robes, ceremonial gold necklaces and a bindi, cues that match the page's claim.

A photograph of a seated man on a gold-carved throne draped with garlands of marigolds, white jasmine and purple flowers. He wears a saffron-orange robe and shawl, a gold headband, long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace of barrel-shaped beads. His hands rest folded in his lap and his bare feet are on the throne's base. In the foreground, two shaven-headed devotees in orange cloths sit near silver vessels at his feet. A blue curtain hangs behind him. This is a person seated in a ceremonial pada puja setting, with his feet being honoured by devotees.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate golden throne with red velvet cushions, eyes closed, hands folded, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi. Several devotees sit in the foreground facing him, including a shaved-headed young man in orange with white tilak, and women with long hair, one in a white sari with gold border. Behind the throne is a large painted backdrop of temple architecture with a figure in blue and red, brass lamps, and a bowl of bananas on a side table. The setting appears to be a satsang. Given the page's reference to a person and the throne and rudraksha cues, the seated figure is a person presiding in a satsang with devotees.
