A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved lion-like arm supports, wearing an orange saffron robe and a thick garland of red and pink flowers, with hands pressed in anjali. Two rows of devotees sit on the floor and bench under an open pavilion; several wear yellow shawls over white clothes, and a woman in a dark sari and a man in white hold brass or silver plates, with a silver tray of offerings and fruit, bottled water and packaged sweets on a low table at left. The setting is a covered open-sided hall with a red wall and orange canopy. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing, a garland and a throne, which are cues matching Swamiji (probable), so this is an appearance-based label only.

Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne inside a tent-like pavilion, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a large orange-and-white flower garland and a white garland, hands pressed together in namaste. Several devotees sit on the floor before him: a woman in orange sari, a woman in green with a long braid, a woman in red-and-white embroidered sari, and people in white ritual clothes holding hands together. Brass and gold lion-shaped figures flank the throne, with offerings of fruit and a tray of food in the foreground. A small pillar and a desk with books and a tablet sit to the side. The pavilion has yellow fabric walls and a standing fan. The man on the throne is the subject; the a person label is an appearance-based candidate, as the orange robes, garlands and throne fit the presentation, though the face is not used for identification.
