A seated man in an orange robe and long dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, smiling, with a leopard-print shawl draped over his arm and rudraksha beads around his neck. A small girl in a white dress with a maroon velvet top stands before him at the foot of the throne, while a man in white kurta with rudraksha mala and a visitor badge leans down beside her. Devotees line the left in saris, including a woman in teal and another in blue, and a woman in red and white at a gold-trimmed side table holds a small brass lamp, with red fruits and a tray of flowers placed on it. A plate of petals sits on the floor in front. The page indicates this is a Sarva Darshan session, and the seated figure with orange robe, long hair and rudraksha is a probable match for Swamiji on a throne receiving devotees.
