A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne (peetha) with a deep-yellow cushion, framed by a large backdrop of marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red, white and green. The central figure wears a rust-orange robe, a matching orange turban, and layered rudraksha malas with a floral garland draped over the chest; he smiles broadly. Beside him, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a red-beaded mala kneels and touches his hand in reverence. Behind them stand a man with a shaved head and white forehead markings, a woman in a cream sari with a red-beaded mala, and another priest with white tilak. A brass oil lamp and a golden lion-head armrest sit beside the throne, and a gilded deity sculpture stands at the left edge. Probable Swamiji cues (orange turban, rudraksha malas, garlands, throne) are visible on the central seated figure, who is honoured by devotees.
