A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne receiving a tray of offerings from a bare-chested young man in a white dhoti with a black thread across his chest. The seated man wears an orange-brown turban with a jewelled ornament, long dark hair, a full beard, a heavy gold necklace and bangles, and an orange-brown shawl. He holds his palms together in greeting. A tall gold staff stands beside the tray, with a white pedestal fan and a red curtain and colourful banners behind. The tray holds bundled cloth and fruit. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, orange-brown turban and ornate gold jewellery and shawl fit the page's description.
