A photograph of a man seated on a throne heavily decorated with white and orange flower garlands, flanked by two carved wooden lion heads wearing marigold garlands. He wears a golden crown with a peacock feather, a red-and-pink floral garland over his shoulders, a necklace of rudraksha beads and large gold-coloured beads, and orange-saffron clothing, with a yellow-tasseled staff near his hand. A devotee in a white dhoti and red-bordered shawl kneels before him at his feet, performing padapuja. Probable Swamiji cues: the crown and ornate saffron clothing with rudraksha malas identify the seated central figure in a throne ceremony. Red-and-gold silk and a red carpet with scattered petals surround the throne.
