A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with red cushions and gilded lion-head armrests, in front of a blue patterned backdrop. The figure wears a red-orange turban with a small red and green plume, a red-orange shawl, a white and gold necklace, and bangles, with palms pressed together in namaste and a smile. Beside the throne stands a large decorated deity murti or ritual form covered in garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers, peacock feathers and jewelled medallions, set on gold-coloured steps with a white cloth and a small silver plate of offerings. The figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), seated on a throne with saffron-red ceremonial clothing and turban, shown in a pada puja setting.
