A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate throne decorated with yellow and white flower garlands, gold lion-shaped armrests and a red cushioned backrest, under a gold canopy. The seated man wears white robes with a red-and-gold patterned shawl draped over his shoulders, holds a microphone in folded hands and smiles. Beside the throne, a woman in a white top and white dhoti with gold border stands and smiles. In the lower foreground, a person in white bends forward in a prostrating gesture before the throne. The shrine walls are covered in yellow flowers with silver-trimmed arches and sun motifs. A 2006 date stamp and a copyright notice appear in the lower corner. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long swept-back hair, white robes and red-and-gold shawl are consistent with the page's description of the event.
