A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate brown leather throne chair, wearing a thick yellow marigold garland and a purple-and-pink orchid garland on the head, with a rudraksha-style pendant at the neck and a dark red-brown robe. A hand in white sleeve offers another yellow garland from the right edge. Behind, an audience of devotees sits and stands, some with white or yellow vibhuti on their foreheads, and a woman in a green sari and a man in a grey shirt are visible. The seated figure is smiling. Probable Swamiji in appearance: long swept-back dark hair under the orchid garland, saffron-toned robe and ornate gold necklace, seated in a throne as a guest of honour.
