A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne (peetha) on a red-draped stage decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. He sits with hands pressed together in a namaste-like gesture, wearing a white dhoti with gold-bordered yellow cloth draped over his shoulder, and long dark hair. The throne is backed by a garland-wrapped arch with gold carved armrests. Flanking the stage are a silver ceremonial lamp stand and silver-framed decorative panels against a mustard-coloured wall, with a pedestal fan at the left. The figure's appearance, including long swept-back hair and gold-bordered yellow garments on a throne, matches cues associated with Swamiji (probable), seated as the honoured presiding figure.

A long garland of white jasmine and pink flowers hangs from the neck, and the throne is decorated with yellow, orange and red flower garlands and white jasmine strands. A white-canopied umbrella with jasmine hangs above, against a dark maroon backdrop, on a white-covered stage. The throne is seated and being honoured, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the person is described by role as a seated figure receiving honour.2007-12-23A seated man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gilded throne decorated with layered garlands of red, yellow, white and purple flowers. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with a gold border and a white shawl, a long gold beaded necklace with a large gold pendant, a white flower garland, and a gold bangle.
