Photograph of a stage-like temple setting with a large golden throne on the left occupied by a seated figure in orange-saffron robes, long swept-back dark hair, a crown-like golden headdress, and multiple garlands of yellow and white flowers; a golden lion-armrest and leopard-skin cushion are visible. A small figure in red and white stands near the throne holding a staff. On the right, a decorated deity murti dressed in a green sari with a green-draped altar, heavy flower garlands and jewelled ornaments sits under a golden canopy with a colourful fringed umbrella. Behind, a large screen shows an illuminated ornate temple architecture graphic and a few figures in costume. Physical people visible are the seated figure and two or three standing figures, with the figure on the throne matching the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, a crown-like headdress, saffron robes, and ceremonial garlands.
