A photograph of a long-haired man in a flowing orange robe seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with red cushions, hands pressed together in greeting and smiling. Before him, a man in white clothing and an orange shawl bows low, with a white table holding fruit, a plate and offerings in front of the throne. Behind them, a man in an orange robe stands with hands clasped, and a man in a yellow shawl and other men in white stand in the background against a black curtain. A patterned red rug covers the floor, and a gold footstool sits at the front. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne in orange robes with long swept-back hair, and this is a seated greeting of devotee and throne-seated figure rather than a formal puja.
