A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a white turban that has a white plume. He wears a white kurta with long dark hair falling to his shoulders. In the foreground a man in a white shirt reaches toward him with both hands raised, and a woman in an orange and white outfit with gold jewellery stands beside him. Behind the throne is a painted backdrop showing a standing deity figure in orange garments with a garland, lotus flowers and a mountain landscape. Several other people stand at the edges. A probable Swamiji-appearance candidate sits on the throne, identified by long swept hair, a white turban with plume, and white ceremonial clothing; the seated figure is honoured by the attendants.
