A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a large gold arched backrest and red cushions, lit by flames. The seated figure wears a cream turban with a red-and-gold ornament, a green silk garment with a red sash, multiple rudraksha malas and beaded armlets, and smiles. Before him, a kneeling man in an orange robe with a bare upper body and white markings on his arm presses his hands together and offers a silver vessel or lamp. Two brass oil lamps with lit wicks stand on either side, one on the left with a bird finial. A dark wall with vertical bars forms the background. The scene resembles a devotional offering before a seated teacher, with the seated figure appearing to be Swamiji (probable) based on the turban, rudraksha malas, ceremonial green silk and throne cues.
