Photo of a golden throne-like seat draped with red velvet and garlanded with orange marigolds and white flowers, with a large printed portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe placed on the throne. The portrait is labelled as a depiction on a backdrop. In front, a brass multi-tiered oil lamp with lit wicks is being tended by a silhouetted person in the foreground. Golden lion sculptures flank the seat, a silver trident stands to the right, and a tiger-striped cloth lies on the platform beneath an arrangement of fruit and flowers. Orange banners reading DHYAN are visible above. The portrait matches the probable Swamiji cues of an orange turban and orange robe, but it is a printed picture, not a person physically present.
