A photograph of a central seated figure on an ornate gold throne with lion-motif armrests and a golden arched back, in front of deep purple draped curtains. The central figure wears an orange-saffron garment, long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi, a rudraksha mala and gold beaded necklaces, and raises one hand in a smiling wave. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha and gold necklaces, and sits on a throne as the honoured central figure. To the left, a shaved-headed man in rust-orange robes with ash markings kneels and holds a white tray with red flowers and a small orange object. To the right, a smiling woman in a white and gold sari kneels and holds the other side of the tray. A small orange cloth bundle sits on the throne and a red floral offering lies on the dais. Two people are visible.
