A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, draped in orange-red robes, his bare feet resting on a gold footstool. His long hair falls to his shoulders and he holds his hands out in greeting. A man in a white kurta and an older man in white with an orange shawl bow forward to clasp his hands. A standing man on the left wears an orange robe, a beaded mala and glasses. Two women in white clothing stand at right, and a woman in a red and gold sari kneels in the foreground. Behind the throne are white and orange-red flower garlands and a red glowing light panel on a brick wall. The seated figure shows probable cues of long swept-back hair and a saffron robe with an ornate gold throne, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) in a seated, honoured role.
