A seated man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead and a rust-red shawl over his bare shoulder sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, holding a silver staff. He wears a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant and is touching his brow with one hand. Around him, devotees in white and rust-red shawls sit on the floor, one with hands raised to the face in a gesture. Red curtains and a tripod-mounted camera appear in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long swept-back hair, rust-red and gold ceremonial clothing, and gold necklace are cues consistent with the page's identification of the event as featuring Swamiji, and he is the seated central figure receiving devotees on the throne.
