A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and carved panels, set against orange and red draped fabric. The central figure wears an orange-red robe over an orange lower garment, a white forehead marking, beaded necklaces, a bangle on the upper arm and a wristwatch, with long dark hair swept back, and holds hands together in greeting while smiling. Silver trishula staffs stand beside the throne. To the right, a second person in an orange headwrap and garland sits on a smaller throne. Along the right edge hangs a small orange and gold banner. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure seated on the throne, identified by the swept-back hair, saffron-orange robes and ornate necklaces.
