A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a large gilded backrest. The figure wears a red-orange garment, a white shawl over the shoulders, a long multi-strand gold and brown bead necklace, a silver pendant, and a red garland with green and orange bands. The hair is long and swept up into a high dark crown, with a red bindi on the forehead. Several people in white shirts and white clothing sit on the floor in front of the throne, bending forward with hands extended. Ornate floral and jewelled decorations frame the background, with brass lamps on the right. Swamiji (probable): the figure on the throne shows long swept-up hair, a crown-like style, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha-style beads and saffron-red clothing, and is shown receiving devotees at a satsang.
