A central seated figure wears a gold crown, long dark hair, a red and white floral garland, saffron clothing and ornate gold jewellery, hands folded in his lap. Around him, devotees in white clothes and orange shawls kneel and bend forward, one pouring water from a silver vessel, others offering flowers and touching the seated figure's feet. Oil lamps, a bronze vessel, fruit and a brass pot sit on a red cloth before him. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his crown, long hair, saffron robes and gold necklaces, seated on a golden throne as the central figure being honoured. Six people are visible.2007-01-01August 09 20102010-08-09
