Photograph of a seated figure in an orange robe on an ornate golden throne with a gilded crown-shaped back, in front of a large banyan tree. The seated man raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. A man in white kurta and dhoti stands at left, placing his hand on the seated man's head in a blessing. Two young men in orange robes stand at far left, and a woman in white with red-brown hair presses her palms together in namaste at right, beside two women in white saris with rudraksha malas. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in orange on the golden throne, with long dark hair and an orange robe, appears to be the central honoured figure.

Several people stand around him: a man in a white shirt and dark trousers at left, a man in orange dhoti and shawl at left-centre, a man in a striped light shirt leaning in toward the seated figure with his hands raised near him, and a woman in a white sari with gold border at right. The seated figure has long dark hair and is barefoot on a red footstool. Gold-tinted throne carvings and a bright white-and-gold sari dominate the scene.

On the right, women in white and cream saris, one with a yellow shawl and one with a lavender dupatta, stand with hands folded in respectful greeting. A gold-trimmed table holds a brass item.
