A figure seated high on the golden throne wears an orange-red turban, an orange-brown robe and a beaded mala, with hands resting near the armrest. Below, a group sits on the floor in front of a low brass offering dish; a bald man in a saffron-orange shawl and a white-robed man with long mala beads sit at centre, with devotees in white, red and yellow saris and shawls around them. An oil lamp stands at the right background beside a red curtain. Overlay text in the corner reads a copyright line.

October 26 20152015-10-26October 26 20152015-10-26A photo of a seated group in a red-curtained hall with ornate gold furnishings. On a large gold throne at upper right sits a robed figure in orange-saffron garments with a golden necklace and an orange turban, holding a golden staff; the figure's appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues of a turban, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold, presented here as a throne-seated presence with devotees on the floor. Around him, roughly two dozen devotees sit cross-legged on the floor in white, red and saffron clothing with red shawls, many holding brass plates of offerings. A tall brass oil lamp stands at left beside a tripod camera. Several bald and white-haired devotees in white garments sit in the foreground.2015-10-26A seated figure on a large gilded throne with carved lion-like armrests and ornate golden panels sits at the top of a red-draped hall, wearing a rust-orange turban, a saffron-orange wrap and a long beaded mala with gold ornaments. Around the throne, a seated congregation in white and orange-red shawls faces him, with several people in front holding offerings and palms together. Women in white and yellow saris sit on the floor in the foreground, and a brass oil lamp stands at the right edge. The setting looks like a satsang or puja with devotees seated in rows. Several people are visible in the front rows, about twenty to thirty in total, and the gathering is visible at the back and sides as well.2015-10-26October 26 20152015-10-26October 26 20152015-10-26A seated man on a gilded golden throne in a red-walled hall wears an orange turban, saffron-orange robe and a beaded necklace, with a gold-framed backdrop behind him.
