A photograph of a central seated figure on an ornate throne backed by a large heart-shaped frame decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and colourful patterned fabric. The seated man wears saffron-orange robes, a long rudraksha-style necklace of gold and beads, a gold chain, and has long dreadlocked hair with a tilak on his forehead; he holds one hand raised in blessing. Around the throne, seven men in white dhoti-style clothing with yellow borders, several with wrapped shoulder cloths, sit and kneel, some smiling, one with folded hands. A standing man on the left wears orange robes, a beaded mala and white forehead markings. A leopard-print cushion sits beneath the throne. The setting suggests a ceremonial reception at an ashram or temple event. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally on the throne, wearing saffron robes, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklaces and long swept-back hair.
