A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes on a gold-trimmed throne with red cushions, in front of a lime-green backdrop with a pink lotus motif and a garland of red flowers along the top. A man in white kurta is bending forward, touching the seated figure's forehead with his hand, while a bald man in white with an orange shawl stands at left holding a rudraksha mala. A woman in a blue blouse and blue-and-gold checked sari has her hands raised near the seated figure, and a woman in white with a dark beaded necklace stands at right with hands together. The seated figure has long dark hair, a crown-like ornament is not visible, and the figure appears to be a probable Swamiji (probable) given the saffron clothing, rudraksha-style beaded adornment and throne setting, shown in person at the event.
