Photograph of a seated figure on a gilded throne with golden lion-head armrests, wearing a rust-red turban, a red-orange robe and a heavy gold necklace. The figure smiles while a man in white dhoti with gold border, red shawl and garland stands beside, tying or handing a red thread to a young boy in a light blue kurta and red shawl. Behind them, girls in orange dresses with rudraksha malas and white-clad attendants stand near a decorated red backdrop with ornate silver and gold shrines. Swamiji (probable) is visible as the seated figure, identified by the turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace cues, the throne seating being insufficient alone.
