A photograph of devotees gathered around a decorated white throne draped with flower garlands and a green leafy canopy. A man with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and a gold-bordered white and yellow dhoti sits on the throne in the centre, with a gold kalasha-style ornament at his feet. Surrounding him, a woman in an orange shawl and mala stands at left beside an elderly woman with a long grey braid, and several devotees in white clothes lean in, one offering a garland of pink, white and multicoloured flowers. A standing fan and white-clad figures appear at the upper right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long hair, rudraksha malas and gold-bordered yellow garments on a throne, consistent with a presiding guru receiving devotees.
