A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne draped with yellow, white and red flower garlands, wearing a maroon turban, saffron-toned robes and a rudraksha mala, smiling broadly. A woman in a red and gold sari with grey hair in a bun kneels and offers something at his feet, while a man in a white shirt crouches nearby. Behind them, a shaved-headed priest in orange and a bare-chested attendant with white tilak stand in a golden-pillared shrine room. A woman in orange stands at the lower right. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure, showing a maroon turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands on a throne, with the attendants and devotees around him in a padapuja-style offering.
