A photograph of a central figure seated before an ornate gilded throne with carved floral and peacock-like motifs, a small emblem at its top, and a trident-like staff at the upper left. The seated man wears a saffron-orange garment, a long dense garland of red, orange and white flowers, and a gold pendant necklace with multiple gold chains; he is smiling. Two devotees stand at his sides with palms pressed together in anjali: a woman in a yellow-and-white sari with orange shawl and gold bangles at left, and a man in a white checked shirt with an orange cord at right. Behind them, another man in white with an orange scarf and a man in orange-saffron robes with a gold necklace appear. Marigold garlands and yellow decorations fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a flower garland and gold ceremonial necklaces, so the appearance-based label applies to this in-person figure.
