A photograph of a seated figure on a gold-upholstered throne before a backdrop of large floral arches in yellow, red, orange and white marigold and rose garlands. The central figure wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange robe, multiple beaded necklaces and a bangle, and holds a black ceremonial staff with white flower garlands tied to it. A gold lion-form armrest is at the right, and a gilded deity figure stands at the far right. Seated at left is a white-clad man with white tripundra markings and a rudraksha-style necklace, facing the throne. In the foreground, an older man with white hair in white clothing gestures upward, and two other people are partly visible at the bottom edge. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure seated on the throne, identified by a saffron-red robe, a turban, long beaded necklaces and a staff, with role of presiding guru receiving devotees.
