A man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap, a long rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with red cushions, speaking to the audience; this is a probable Swamiji depiction in person, based on the long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala. Several devotees sit on the floor facing him. A man in white and women in saris and yellow-green dress hold lit oil lamps and brass offering plates near the throne, a lamp-offering ritual. A small gold-edged side table holds fruit and a water bottle.2011-01-23A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange saffron garment draped over his shoulder and a dark beaded rudraksha mala around his neck, looking to his right. In front of the throne, a small gold-and-wood table holds a tray with fruit and a decorative dish. Below, a group of devotees sits on the floor: several men in white dhotis with white and orange ritual shawls and tripundra marks on their foreheads hold lit oil lamps or aarti lamps, while women in white and orange saris, one with a long braid, sit with hands extended in offering.
