A photograph of a seated figure on a gold-framed throne decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands, wearing an orange saffron shawl over a red undergarment and bare feet on a red cushion. Standing and seated devotees surround him: a man in a white shirt on the left, a man in a blue-and-white striped shirt, a man in an orange dhoti, and a white-clad woman in a sari with a gold-bordered pallu and a bare-shouldered woman in white. An elderly man in white kneels or sits in a beige plastic chair receiving the attention of the seated figure, who holds an object in his hand. Behind them a large red-and-gold backdrop is visible. The figure on the throne has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a probable Swamiji candidate based on these cues.
