A photograph of a golden ornate throne on a stage, draped with garlands of yellow and orange marigolds and red flowers. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style bead necklace sits smiling on the throne, with a microphone stand beside him; the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), seated in a ceremonial setting. Behind him is a large backdrop of a crowned deity figure with red and gold tones and a trident-shaped ornament. A woman in a white and yellow sari kneels and bows forehead-down at the foot of the throne on a golden footstool. Two men in white dhotis and saffron cloth sit with palms pressed together at the left. A woman in yellow sits with folded hands at the right beside a golden lion-shaped stand and a vase of flowers, and a golden parasol hangs above.
