A photo of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved gold backrest, wearing a leopard-print robe over an orange garment and a sacred ash marking on his forehead, smiling as he reads a small white paper slip held in both hands. In front of him stands a man in a white shirt, partly turned away, with another person's hand resting on his back. To the right, a young woman in a green embroidered salwar kameez with a pink dupatta over her shoulders looks toward the seated man. Behind them are garlands of yellow, red, orange and purple flowers draped around a golden figure and a gold lamp stand, with a teal cloth behind. Probable Swamiji: the seated man has a long swept-back hair style and ornate adornments in an orange and leopard-print robe; he appears to be the presiding figure receiving the slip.
