A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushion, wearing saffron-orange robes, multiple gold necklaces, beaded bracelets and a long swept-back hair, smiling as a kneeling man in a light grey shirt bows forward and receives a hand on his head from the seated figure, who holds a tray of oranges. Standing behind the kneeling devotee, a shaved-headed man in orange-and-yellow robes with a rudraksha mala and orange forehead markings watches, and an older man in a pale shirt with hands clasped and two men in white and yellow stand nearby. A gold ceremonial staff with a finial is in the foreground and a warm spotlight glows above. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure on the throne, based on saffron clothing, long hair, gold necklaces and rudraksha beads, with the kneeling man receiving blessing.
