Photograph in a ceremonial hall with a blue curtain backdrop. A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne smiles broadly; he has long, swept-back dark hair, wears a leopard-print shawl over a peach and yellow robe, and a gold necklace of beads, and holds a fruit in one hand and a silver tray of flowers in the other. An assistant in a white shirt stands behind him and holds a water bottle. To the left, a bare-backed priest in white dhoti stands before tall brass oil lamps (diya) with lit flames, next to a wooden offering box with red compartments. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the long swept-back hair, gold beaded necklace and saffron-toned robe.
