A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver-and-red throne, raising one hand in blessing. He wears a rust-red garment with a gold-and-brown waist sash, a long beaded rudraksha mala, a large gold pendant and gold necklace, with long swept-back hair and a tilak on his forehead. Beside him a woman in rust-red robes with rudraksha malas stands and touches a small brass deity murti on a stand. A seated man in an orange-red shawl and a woman in white with rudraksha beads sit near the throne. Behind them, people in white and saffron-trimmed white clothes sit in a hall with red walls and framed posters. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, shown by the swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, gold pendant and ceremonial dress.
