A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back, draped with a tiger-skin cloth. He wears a rust-orange robe with a gold border, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala and a heavy gold bead necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead, with hands folded in his lap. Gold hanging lamps and bells hang beside the throne. In the lower foreground, three people in white ritual clothing with white markings on their arms sit before a gold pedestal with flower offerings, and a figure in brown robes with a red shawl kneels or bows at the front. Probable Swamiji (appearance-based candidate, seated on throne, with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace). Four physical people are visible.
