A photograph of a figure seated on a golden throne (peetha) banked with multicoloured garlands in yellow, white, red and purple marigolds and roses. The seated figure wears a pink and gold turban-style head covering, a red rudraksha-style mala and gold ornaments, and is seen against a backdrop of a painted temple pillar scene. Two devotees in white garments bow low over a large heap of pink and white flower petals in front of the throne, one with a pink sari and gold border, the other in a white kurta, touching their heads to the petals. Brass oil lamps stand on either side and an orange-robed attendant stands at the right edge. The appearance of the seated figure is a probable match for Swamiji, with turban, garlands, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments as distinguishing cues.
