A photograph of a seated man in a white turban and white robe with a flower garland and a gold necklace, sitting before an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with white flower garlands and red blossoms. Two devotees kneel in front of him: a bald man in white kurta and dhoti on the left, and a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari with dark hair on the right, both with their hands held near him. Gold lion-shaped armrests and vases of orange flowers surround the dais, and a silver puja vessel sits at lower left. The man on the throne appears to be the honoured guru figure, with cues including the turban and garland, but the appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.
