A photograph on a stage before a backdrop with a large portrait of a bearded face and red drapery. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a canopy of white flower garlands wears an orange and saffron robe, a long white flower garland, and has long dark hair; the figure's right hand is raised in blessing. Six people stand or sit around the throne in white ritual clothes: several men in white dhotis and shirts with rudraksha malas, two women in white saris, and an elderly woman in an orange shawl seated in a wheelchair at the front right. Brass vessels, fruit and flowers sit on a red carpet in front, and yellow marigold garlands hang at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure on the throne, identified by the saffron robe, long hair, rudraksha-style adornment and throne setting.
