Photo of a smiling person seated on an ornate gold throne with carved floral backrest, dark green foliage behind. The person wears a maroon-brown robe with gold border, a red and white flower garland, layered gold necklaces, and a crescent ornament in the hair; a silver trident rests against the throne. Lit oil lamps and an offering tray appear at the left edge, with a hand holding a lamp. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and a trident-bearing ceremonial setting, seated as the central figure of the ritual.
