Swamiji (probable) seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushioning, hands clasped in his lap, a red bindi on his forehead. He wears a sky-blue draped cloth over a bare shoulder, with layered white pearl and clear crystal beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Two shaven-headed devotees in white dhotis with red borders sit in front with hands joined in namaste. Before the throne stand a tray with pink flowers and incense sticks, and a brass oil lamp with a lit flame sits at the left edge. A gold-framed deity image is visible at the top of the throne back, and a microphone is visible at right.
