A photograph of a seated spiritual teacher on an ornate gold throne (peetha) against a warm orange and red painted backdrop. The central figure wears an orange saffron wrap draped over one shoulder and white dhoti, with a long orange turban, a multi-strand rudraksha-style bead mala and ceremonial gold necklace, and raises one hand in blessing. Marigold and rose garlands hang over the throne arms. Seated before him on the floor are devotees: a woman in a green sari, a child in white, a woman in a dark blue sari, a man in white with a white head covering, and a figure in a white dhoti and shawl, with small oil lamps and offerings in front. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) candidate, with orange saffron wrap, turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklace cues, seated on a throne as the teacher giving satsang.
