A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long beaded necklace and dark hair swept back, sitting before an ornate gold throne-like seat decorated with a gold relief and flower garlands in white, yellow and orange. A man in a white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala and a lanyard holds a pink paper and speaks with the seated figure. Around them devotees in white and orange stand and sit, a fan and a video camera on a tripod are visible, and a man in a saffron shawl and a seated monk in orange are at the lower left. The figure is described as Swamiji (probable) based on the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ceremonial necklace cues.
