Indoor photograph of a formal audience in a room with red carpeting and a gold-framed temple painting on the wall. On the right, a seated figure in orange and rust robes with a rust-coloured turban sits on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions, a gilded lion figure at its base. Beside the throne, a man in an orange robe and rudraksha mala stands. Three people sit on the floor to the left: a man in a white shirt and grey trousers, an elderly man in white dhoti and an orange shawl, and a shaven-headed man in a saffron-brown cloth with a mala. A brass bowl of apples and a golden kalasha-style vessel are in the foreground. Appearance cues on the throned figure are distinctive but the page does not place him at this event, so the identity is uncertain.
