A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne decorated with a large golden crown-shaped backrest and garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers. The person wears a leopard-print blouse, rudraksha beads and gold necklaces, a pink-and-white flower garland, bangles and an orange-red dhoti-style lower cloth, with a tilak on the forehead and long dark hair; the zebra-striped throne cloth is visible below. Brass hanging oil lamps and a row of small lamps decorate the dark backdrop. The page describes this as a Maha Shivaratri satsang, and the appearance cues are distinctive (long hair, rudraksha, gold necklaces, ornate clothing), so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne in person. One person is visible in the scene, with a partially visible figure at the bottom edge.
