A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate throne in front of a large floral backdrop of marigolds, roses and green foliage arranged in arching rainbow bands of red, yellow, white and purple. He wears a gold crown with a sunburst motif, a gold ceremonial necklace, a red tilak on his forehead, and a pink and gold patterned garment. Gold trident-like ornaments stand beside him. In the foreground, several blurred devotees are seen from behind, including a figure in orange and a white-haired person in white, one in a teal and gold garment. The man on the throne appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his ceremonial gold crown, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-toned ceremonial dress, seated in a place of honour. He is shown in person, looking to his right. The scene suggests a celebratory gathering.
