A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) decorated with flower garlands and striped fabric. The seated figure wears saffron/orange robes, long dark swept-back hair, and a beaded mala with a gold pendant; a bowl sits near the throne. A shaven-headed man in orange robes stands at left, holding up a white cloth-wrapped offering or packet toward the seated figure, with a man in white dhoti at far left and a smiling man in white with folded hands at right. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and ceremonial gold necklace cues on a throne, consistent with the page's event context. Scene appears to be a devotional offering/biksha on a throne with flowers and a rounded red cushion.
