A photograph of a seated saffron-clad figure on a carved wooden throne with red velvet upholstery, wearing an orange turban and a pink and white flower garland, with a carved wooden lion beneath the seat. A man in a white shirt and glasses stands at right, placing his hands on the seated figure's head in blessing. A microphone stand is in front of the throne, and a woman in orange clothing and other people are partly visible in the background behind a lattice window. The figure's appearance shows several cues such as saffron clothing, a turban and a garland, so this is a probable Swamiji in person, with the figure receiving a blessing on the throne.
