A photograph of a seated figure on a golden-framed throne with a carved lion-head armrest in the foreground, draped in a tiger-striped cloth. The seated figure has long dark hair, a red bindi, a red and white beaded garland, and an orange-and-gold ornate garment, and is smiling broadly while extending an arm toward a devotee. A man in a white kurta kneels at the throne's edge with his arms outstretched and head bowed toward the seated figure. A second man in a white kurta with an orange shawl stands smiling in the background to the left. Dark stage backdrop with a lamp stand; a flower garland hangs from the throne. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure: long swept-back hair, ornate orange-and-gold clothing, rudraksha-style beaded garland and ceremonial gold armrests on the throne.
