A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on a gold and red throne decorated with garlands of white, yellow, pink and red flowers. He wears a long red-pink garland and a rudraksha-style mala, with long swept-back dark hair, and holds his palms together in greeting while smiling. A woman in a white sari with gold border bends low at his feet, which rest on a red footstool, as she performs padapuja. Behind them, devotees in white shirts and orange shawls stand under a tent with red pennants and a decorated cylindrical banner. Petals are scattered on the floor. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a garland and a rudraksha mala, seated on a throne being honoured with padapuja.
