Outdoor photo of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange-brown turban and a tiered garland of rudraksha malas with a large gold pendant. The figure has a bindi and white forehead markings and extends one hand toward a bald devotee in red and orange robes kneeling in the foreground, who has a gold hoop earring. The seated figure holds a tall silver staff with a round finial in the other hand. Behind the throne, a row of people in white dhotis and saris stands with hands folded on red steps, with banana plants and a white railing beyond. The figure is consistent with Swamiji (probable): a swept-back turban, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-orange clothing, seated as the honoured guide on the throne.
