A photograph inside a dark, gilded ritual room with a large ornate golden throne and a carved golden lion-form armrest. A man seated on the throne wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and is bare-footed, with long swept-back hair; his appearance is consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a teaching role. Below him, several seated devotees in white clothes wear orange lanyards and face the throne, with brass-and-silver offering plates of flowers and sweets arranged on a golden table in front. Brass hanging oil lamps and bells stand beside the throne, and an ornate old wooden door with gold leaf is on the left.
