A photograph of a long-haired man with a dark beard seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne, smiling, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulders, a bare chest, a gold armlet and a beaded waist cord. He holds a small cup on a silver side table decorated with a lion figure. Around him seated devotees in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis sit on the floor, including a bare-chested man in orange in front. A copper water bottle sits beside the throne. Gold deity statues stand in the background. Partially visible people in the foreground include the back of a head. Swamiji (probable): the seated man with long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, ornate gold armlet and beaded adornments occupies the throne, matching the page's note of Swamiji's presence.
