A photograph of a standing figure in an ornate red and gold embroidered garment, wearing a tall gold crown with green gem accents, a layered gold necklace and a green pendant, smiling beside a gold throne with a gold umbrella canopy. A bare-chested man in a saffron-orange shawl bows and offers a folded yellow cloth to the figure, with a mala-wearing audience seated and standing behind in a hall with purple patterned wall panels. The presentation of the yellow cloth suggests a respectful offering. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure wears a crown, ornate red-gold clothing and a gold necklace, with a gold throne behind, and is shown receiving an offering.
