A photograph of a formal visitor reception in an ornate room. A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with long swept-back dark hair, a dark rudraksha-style bead necklace, and bare feet sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne with a gold carved back. He holds a small fruit in his hand and smiles. A man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a dark red vest stands nearby with folded hands, next to a woman in a red patterned sari. A bald man in orange robes and a gold chain stands behind, and a young man in orange with a gold necklace stands at the left rear. In front, a person in white clothing with a white head covering bends forward to touch the feet of the seated figure. Gold ritual vessels and a gilded deity painting fill the background. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron-toned robe, and rudraksha-style necklace.
