Photo of a seated guru on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, wearing an orange-yellow dhoti-style garment, a pink-red turban and a red sash with beaded necklaces. A man in white with a rudraksha mala sits on the floor before a gold-rimmed tray holding flowers and offerings; two women in white saris with red borders sit beside him with hands folded. A gilded backdrop shows a painted figure and a clouded sky. A third robed figure in orange is partly visible at far right, and a tablet rests on the throne. Studio-style room with pink walls, a red curtain and a standing fan. The guru appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the saffron-orange robe, pink turban, beaded necklaces and throne setting; the setting suggests a satsang or darshan.
