A photograph of a figure seated on an ornate gilded throne with red cushioned armrests and carved lion-head arm ends, inside a temple-style setting with draped red curtains. The seated person wears a rust-orange turban, orange robes and a long multicoloured garland of blue, white and red flowers, with long dark hair falling forward. Another person's hands extend from the left, offering or receiving small round sweets, and a second person with shaved head sits partly visible at left beside a golden trident. Ornate gold-and-white carved pillars frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a turban, orange robes and long hair, enthroned in a ceremonial setting as a darshan-style blessing.
