A man seated on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, red, pink and purple flowers. He wears a beige turban with a red bindi, a white dhoti and shawl, multi-strand gold bead necklaces with a large gold pendant, and a gold serpent armlet. His hands rest clasped in his lap. Red and orange cushions surround him. A label printed on the photo reads Dhyanapeetam-style archive text; the caption excerpt refers to Paramashivam. Swamiji (probable): long hair under a turban, layered gold malas and ceremonial gold adornments, seated on a throne in white robes.
