A photograph of a smiling man seated on a throne decorated with a dense arch of flower garlands in yellow, purple, red and white, with blue-centred white blossoms. He wears a saffron-yellow shawl draped over his bare shoulder and a heavy multi-strand gold necklace, with a red-and-gold bindi on his forehead and long dark hair. His hands are pressed together in front of his chest in a clapping or greeting gesture. Ornate gold-and-silver ceremonial emblems hang on either side of the throne arch. A red cushion is visible in the lower foreground. Swamiji (probable) is present as a seated central figure, shown in person with his long hair, saffron shawl and gold necklace.
