A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a carved arched back and lion-head armrests, set against a deep maroon velvet drape. He wears an orange-saffron cloth over his torso, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold-toned necklace, bangles on his upper arms, and a red tilak on his forehead; his hair is long and swept back. Two women sit on the low red-draped platform at either side, one in white clothing on the left and one in a white top on the right. Faint printed copyright text appears in the lower right corner. The image shows a seated dais ceremony; the seated man in saffron is a probable Swamiji (appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial necklace), seated on a throne.
