A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair and closed eyes, wearing an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulders and a long dark rudraksha mala with large beads. He has white sacred ash on his forehead with a red kumkum dot at the centre. He sits in front of an ornate gold throne with carved patterns and a red cushion, and behind him are garlands of marigolds and roses in orange, yellow, red and purple, plus a teal fabric hanging. The scene suggests a seated ceremonial setting with garlands at the throne. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, seated on a gold throne as the honoured figure.
