Photo of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a floral garland backdrop of yellow and magenta flowers. He wears an orange turban with a red forehead mark, an orange saffron-coloured wrap, and multiple long gold bead necklaces with a gold pendant. Swamiji (probable) is the seated central figure, based on the orange turban, ornate gold necklaces and throne setting. To his left, a figure's hand holds a small bowl toward him; to the right, a man in white ritual clothes with red-edged cloth holds a steel bowl and offers it, with another attendant holding a bowl beside him. The scene suggests a ceremonial offering on stage.
