A photograph inside a covered hall with a corrugated roof of a man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a long red-and-white flower garland, seated smiling on an ornate gold throne heavily decorated with white jasmine, yellow and pink flower garlands and a golden canopy. He rests his feet on a red cushion on a gold footstool. Behind him, women in white saris with rudraksha malas and a man in a white shirt with a mala stand with hands folded, and a girl in a lavender dress sits beside a small pink figure and brass ritual vessels. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and ceremonial garland cues.
