A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-maroon throne with carved golden lion-head armrests, set against a red backdrop and a gilded framed panel. The seated person wears an orange dhoti, a tiger-striped upper garment, a long multicoloured garland of red, yellow and green flowers, layered beaded necklaces, gold bangles and an armband, with a red tilak on the forehead. Three women in white clothes stand before the throne, one with a leopard-print shawl, listening attentively. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, ornate gold and beaded adornments, saffron clothing, garland) is seated in a darshan setting; the throne and gilded panel indicate formal audience.
