A photograph of a ceremonial stage with a seated figure on an ornate white throne at centre, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a saffron head covering, with hands resting on the armrests. A white parasol hangs above the throne, and a silver trident stands beside it. Behind the stage a starry blue-and-purple galaxy backdrop hangs before red drapes. On the left, a deity murti in gold and red is garlanded with flowers and a cobra hood, and on the right a goddess murti in a purple sari and gold jewellery stands framed by garlands and an orange kalasha-like decoration. Brass vessels sit before the throne. A row of seated devotees in white dhotis with their backs to the camera faces the stage, and camera tripods stand at right. The scene reads as a darbar, with the seated figure as the probable Swamiji on his throne.
