A photograph of a man seated on an ornate throne decorated with flower garlands in red, white, yellow and purple, with gold and jewelled medallions. He has a white tilak on his forehead, rudraksha and gold necklaces, and gold armlets with red bands. Around him, attendants in orange and saffron headcloths and garments move past, and a woman in a white sari walks in the foreground. Hanging garlands of white and red flowers frame the top of the scene. A hanging gold-and-white shrine emblem appears above the throne. The seated man is shown with long hair and a smile, wearing distinctive rudraksha and gold ornaments in a ceremonial setting, consistent with Swamiji (probable) seated in a ceremonial honour procession.
