A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with carved lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion. The figure wears a tall black turban, a white tripundra with a red bindi, and a rust-red saffron-toned garment with gold border, draped over one shoulder. Layered red and white flower garlands and a gold pendant hang at the chest, with gold bangles on the wrist, and a small object is held in one hand. Behind the throne are a large jewelled backdrop with green and red stones, a white and yellow flower arrangement, and a tall brass lamp stand. Swamiji (probable) is shown in saffron-toned ceremonial dress with a turban, rudraksha-style red and gold garlands and ceremonial gold necklace, seated on the throne as a teacher during the satsang setting. The figure appears to be seated in a speaking or chanting posture.
