A photograph of a seated man on a gilded throne decorated with a large garland of yellow marigolds, red roses, purple and pink flowers and green leaves. He wears a beige turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, a white dhoti-style garment draped over a bare upper body, multiple tiers of gold beaded necklaces with a gold pendant, and a gold armlet. His hands rest folded in his lap. Behind him is an orange banner with Kannada script and a large portrait of a deity figure with a crown. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and a white garment on a throne, which are appearance-based cues only. Two lit diyas or lamps sit on the sides of the throne.
