A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a dark red turban with a gold ornament, a red-orange robe, a garland of orange flowers and green-yellow fruit, and a rudraksha mala with dark beads. He holds a red apple in one hand and gestures with the other while smiling. In front of him a young woman with a braid and a dark top bends forward, and a man in a striped shirt leans in beside her. Behind them a photographer in white raises a camera, a silver trident stands on a table, and a woman in an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala stands at the right. The seated figure appears to match the probable Swamiji cues of turban, saffron-toned robe, garlands and rudraksha mala, and is shown in a presiding role.
