A photograph of a seated conversation in an ornate room. On the right, a man in an orange-brown robe and matching turban sits on a gilded throne with a leopard-print cushion, smiling and facing the group; a carved golden lion sits beside him, and a tray of fruit rests below. Facing him on the left, a woman in a pink shawl and a man in a cream shirt and white dhoti gesture while talking; a bald man in white with an orange-banded wrist sits near them with a tablet. Behind, a standing attendant in orange wears a rudraksha-style mala, and framed gold-embossed temple paintings hang on the wall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure on the gilded throne wears an orange turban, saffron robe and long swept-back hair, matching the page's reference.
