A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a large gilded backrest carved with floral and scrollwork, flanked by gold lion-head armrests and red cushions. He wears a rust-brown turban, brown robes with a gold-bordered shawl, layered gold necklaces, a pink-and-white braided garland, and a bindi. Two bare-chested young men in white dhotis with brown shawls sit before the throne, one with hands raised in namaskar. A gold tray holds offerings, and small brass oil lamps and bells hang nearby. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's turban, saffron-brown robes, rudraksha-style gold adornments and throne presence align with the page's description of Swamiji at this event.
