A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushioned seat and carved gold armrests, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and gold bangles, with a red tilak mark. A kneeling man in a dark maroon shirt leans forward, reaching toward the seated figure's feet while another hand touches the throne footrest, as in a devotee's pada puja gesture. To the left, a standing man in a red-maroon dhoti with gold border and beaded mala holds an arm up, and a brass oil lamp stands nearby. Behind is a painted backdrop of a large banyan-type tree and carved temple pillars. A woman in a red sari is partly visible at the right edge. White cloth covers the floor in front of the throne. Probable Swamiji in orange clothing with rudraksha mala and long hair seated on the throne, receiving the kneeling devotee.
