A photograph of a seated figure in a bright orange robe on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, hands pressed together in namaskar. Beside the throne a golden lion-form sculpture sits on a low table with fruit, packets and flowers. Around him in an open pavilion, a group of devotees sit on the floor: several women in white with yellow shawls, one woman in an orange-red shawl, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala. In the foreground a woman in red and a man in white with glasses kneel and offer to the throne, and a man in a grey shirt with a yellow lanyard sits at the right edge. A microphone stand and speakers are visible in the background. Roughly 15 physical people are visible. The figure on the throne appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on long swept-back hair, saffron robe and a throne setting.
