A photograph of a man in an orange saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair seated in front of an ornate gold throne with a carved deity panel above it. Two devotees in front of him bend toward him: a man in a white short-sleeved shirt on the left and a woman in a cream dotted sari with a white flower in her hair on the right. The throne has a deep red backing and gold scrollwork. The setting appears to be a formal initiation or darshan. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and orange robes, a person candidate, though his appearance here is only partly clear.
