A woman in a purple sari with floral print stands before him with her hands together, while a younger man in orange robes stands beside her and another woman in pink and a dark sari is at the left edge. Behind them is a painted backdrop with blue and orange tones, dark blue draped cloth and bare dry branches. Gold-carved decorations and yellow flowers frame the throne.

August 19 20092009-08-19A photograph of a man in saffron-orange robes with a red undergarment seated on a gold and red zebra-striped throne with ornate gold carvings. He wears long swept-back dark hair and a tilak on his forehead, and holds a wooden staff across his lap. Two women stand before him: one in a purple and gold-bordered sari with her hands pressed together in greeting, and another in a pink blouse with her hair tied back. A standing attendant in orange robes is behind them, and a partly visible man in white stands at the right edge. Behind the throne is a painted sky backdrop with a gold deity relief and marigold garlands. Dry bare branches are held in front of the seat. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a throne setting, so the appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable), seated in person as a central figure receiving devotees.2009-08-19A seated man in an orange-saffron robe over a red top sits on a red patterned cushioned seat before an ornate gold throne with carved deity relief and yellow-and-purple flower garlands. He raises a trident in one hand and a wooden staff in the other. Before him, a woman in a purple patterned sari with a gold-bordered shawl and a woman in a pink blouse stand with hands folded in respect. A man in an orange robe stands behind them.
