Indoor photo of a seated man in a golden ornate throne with a red cushioned seat, wearing a red-orange turban with a gold ornament, a red-orange robe and a beaded necklace, smiling. Before him a white cloth holds oranges that people are handing over. Around him stand devotees: one in a white kurta and white cap, one in a white shawl and white cap, a man in an orange robe, and a man in a dark jacket reaching in from the right, with a man in a dark knit cap at left. Gold carved backrest and recessed ceiling lights complete the room. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a red-orange turban, red-orange robe and beaded necklace seated on a golden throne, a probable identification from these cues.
