A long dark braid of hair is wrapped on top of his head, and he wears gold bangles on his right arm. In front of him a man in a cream kurta kneels, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together beside a woman in red-orange clothing with long dreadlocks. A gold-plated backdrop with a golden relief, a red and yellow flower-decorated arch behind the throne, and a gold vessel with loose flowers suggest a ritual offering setting. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, ornate gold armband and jewellery, and a garland, and the page identifies him as present.2016-07-19July 31 20152015-07-31A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a tall golden back and a gold trident-topped staff beside it. The seated figure wears a red-orange robe, layered gold necklaces, a long garland of yellow and pink flowers, gold armlets and bangles, and a white-and-red forehead marking, with long swept-back dark hair and a crescent ornament. A kneeling man in a white shirt and a young woman in a red-orange outfit with a white flower in her hair offer pink flower petals and a small brass vessel on a red cushion.

A man in a white shirt with a red shawl sits with his back to the camera, offering flowers at the feet of the seated figure, who has pink and white flower petals at the feet, in what appears to be a pratyaksha padapuja.

Before him, a bare-chested elder with white hair bends to wash his feet on a brass plate decorated with marigolds, roses and jasmine garlands, while a younger attendant in a white sari stands at the right and another attendant in white pours or offers from the left.
