A photograph of a formal audience in an ornately decorated room with red patterned curtains and wallpaper. A man in an orange-and-gold robe and a red turban sits on a gilded throne with a red cushion, holding out a blue-covered book. Before him, a white-haired man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala kneels on a striped rug, reaching up to receive the book with both hands. Behind them, a bearded man in saffron robes sits on a red velvet seat, and a man in white dhoti and shawl with a flower garland and sandalwood-coloured bands stands with hands folded. Trident-like staffs and a golden lion-form stand are visible at left, with orange flower petals on the rug in front.
