A photograph inside a decorated hall shows a man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a multicolored parasol. He wears saffron-orange clothing, a multicoloured flower garland with a rudraksha-style mala, and holds a silver trident aloft while smiling and gesturing. Long hair is visible, and his forehead is marked. A bald priest in orange sits at left, and a woman in white kneels before the throne with hands extended toward the seat. Behind, a woman in orange sits, and several men in orange and white dhotis clap and raise their arms. Orange shag cloth covers a low platform before the throne, with white lilies, purple flowers and green foliage around it.

Two standing attendants in reddish-brown dhotis with gold borders and ritual sacred ash markings on their bodies stand to the left, one with a bare shaved head, facing the seated figure. Gold parasols with trident finials and silver tridents frame the throne, and a silver lamp stand with tiered oil lamps stands in front. Golden draping covers the platform and a bright green leafy canopy overhead. Two young people are partly visible at the right edge. The seated figure is described as Swamiji (probable) on the basis of the saffron robes, turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland, though appearance alone is not conclusive.2015-07-09A seated man in an orange saffron turban with a small ornament and a red bindi, wearing orange saffron robes, layered rudraksha and gold bead necklaces, and a large gold pendant.
