A photograph in a bright hall with pink walls and a golden ornate throne. A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-orange robe and a gold necklace and bracelets, sits on a leopard-print cushion on the throne, smiling and holding a microphone in one hand while raising a long staff with the other. Beside him a gold-framed carved deity murti stands on the right. On the floor in front a man in rust-orange clothes lies prone on a striped mat, with scattered food grains and a silver bowl and offering tray nearby. A woman in a white and yellow sari sits in a chair in the background beside a white fan and water dispenser. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, identified by the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and rust-orange robe with the throne and microphone; the reclining man and seated woman are devotees.
