A photograph of a figure seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, flanked by gold lion sculptures, in front of a wall decorated with marigold and red-and-white floral garlands. The seated figure wears orange robes, a small gold crown-like headpiece, and a long garland of mixed flowers, with hands pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. A golden canopy hangs above the throne. Several people in orange and white sit at the lower edge: one man holds a long ceremonial staff, two women in orange saris sit in front, and a man in orange and white sits at the right. Fruit and offering trays are visible at the bottom. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, an ornate crown-like headpiece, orange silk robes and a floral garland.
