A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a heavy rudraksha mala and a large gold ceremonial pendant necklace, with a white tilak on his forehead and gold bangles on his arms. He extends his hand to receive an offering from a devotee in white dhoti and shawl who leans forward, placing an item into his palm. Behind them a cameraman in white shirt operates a camera on a tripod against a red curtain. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces match the page's Swamiji reference.
