A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne with a dark-patterned embellished backrest, in a decorated stage set with string lights and draped curtains in purple, red and gold. He wears a red-orange turban, orange-saffron robes and a gold-coloured ceremonial necklace, and raises his hands in a blessing gesture. In the left foreground a person's arm holds a lit oil lamp, its flames glowing. Marigold garlands hang on the throne, and brass lamps line the stage floor. Visible appearance cues include a red-orange turban, saffron robes and gold ornaments, so the seated figure is a probable Swamiji (probable) presiding in person, seated on the throne during an arati.
