A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a red velvet cushioned seat and carved gold frame. The central figure wears a sky-blue draped garment, multiple strands of white beads and a long pendant necklace, with a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair swept back; the figure's presentation with long hair, ornate clothing and beads is a probable Swamiji cue, and the figure is seated with hands folded in the lap. Two gold oil lamps with flames stand on either side of the throne, and a pink flower offering and incense sticks appear at the bottom. Five shaved-headed devotees in white dhotis with red-bordered shawls sit facing the throne with hands folded in anjali. Behind is a large painted backdrop of temple pillars and deity murtis.
