A photograph of a long-haired man in white dhoti and shawl with gold trim and a heavy gold necklace, seated smiling on a golden throne heavily decorated with red, yellow, purple and white flower garlands. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a red tilak and ornate gold necklaces on a throne. Around him, a man in white kurta and a woman in white sari with orange border stand close, a devotee in white holds a garland or offering, another man in orange kurta wears a gold necklace, and a man in white kurta with orange shawl takes a photo on a phone. A golden lion-head ornament and pink draped fabric canopy frame the scene, with a ceiling fan at left.
