A photograph on a stage in front of a flower-decorated throne with a red backrest and gold lion-head armrests. A figure with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange robe and white-and-green garland, sits barefoot on a silver footstool, smiling with one hand raised. Probable Swamiji (long hair, orange clothing and garland cues). To the left, a man in white clothes with an orange shawl stands beside the throne. On the right, a young person in white clothing bends forward, presenting a yellow cloth to the seated figure's feet during a paada puja. Marigold and white flower garlands line the throne, and a purple curtain and a small fan stand behind.
