A photograph inside a small room with yellow walls and white flower garlands hanging at the sides. In the centre sits a large, ornately carved gold throne with lion-head armrests and a red velvet seat cushion. Seated on it is a figure wearing a rust-red turban with a gold emblem, rust-red robes and heavy gold ornaments, with rudraksha and white-and-orange flower garlands draped over the chest. The figure has one hand raised in blessing. Behind the throne hangs a framed picture showing a black-and-white carved stone relief on the left and, on the right, a painted image of a seated deity holding a child. The figure appears to be a cutout or life-size standee rather than a living person; the seat is empty of other people. Swamiji (probable) cues: turban, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, shown on a throne as a depiction.
