A photo of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, draped in saffron orange silk and wearing a long saffron-and-gold bead necklace. The figure has long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak mark, and extends one hand toward a devotee. Beside the throne, a man in a white shirt and a shaven-headed priest in orange robes stand near a plate of apples held by another person. Elaborate gold carving and colourful floral garlands decorate the background, with a striped festive canopy above. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure, based on long hair, saffron clothing, bead necklace and the throne setting.
