A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved gilded backrest and red cushioned armrests. He wears a rust-red robe, a long beaded brown rudraksha mala with a large gold pendant, and a thick pink flower garland across his chest, with long dark hair and a full beard. He smiles, one hand resting on the armrest. Behind him are walls of marigold and white flower garlands in purple, yellow and white, with a deity figure draped in flowers at right and red flags in the background. Dark-clad audience members occupy the lower foreground. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the long hair, saffron-red robe, rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace.
