A photograph of a seated man on an ornate red throne, framed by a large floral backdrop of red, yellow, white, purple and green flower arrangements. He wears an orange-brown robe, a long pink and white flower garland with a yellow marigold, and a small red tilak on his forehead, and he holds out a yellow fruit toward a person whose back is turned, wearing a blue shirt on the right. A golden trident and a golden lion-form armrest stand beside the throne. Partly visible at the edges are a person in orange clothing on the left and a woman in a red-and-gold sari on the right. The seated man has distinctive long dark hair and saffron-orange robes with a flower garland, so this is a probable Swamiji in person receiving or offering fruit at a ceremony.
