A seated man with a golden crown and gold ornaments sits on an ornate throne backed by a large heart-shaped frame of marigold garlands in yellow, orange and red, set with jewelled panels. He wears a red-brown garment, layered gold necklaces, a long purple flower garland and bangles, and smiles with palms pressed together in greeting. Golden lion heads flank the throne. In the foreground, devotees sit with their backs to the camera: a woman with a flower in her hair in a pink-and-gold sari, a child in white, an elderly man in white, and a woman in yellow. Brass oil lamps are visible at the sides. The image is a photograph of a satsang and darshan at the ashram. The seated man is an in-person Swamiji (probable), identified by the crown, saffron-toned robes, rudraksha-style gold necklaces and purple garland on the throne.
