A photograph of a man seated on a golden throne (peetha) decorated with a thick arrangement of multicoloured flower garlands in white, yellow, green, red and purple. He wears an orange turban, orange robes and a long white and red flower garland, with a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, gold bangles, and a red forehead mark, and holds a white fly-whisk. Behind him stands a gilded throne backrest with carved details, and rows of small oil lamps hang from gold chains, glowing against a dark wall lined with lit lamps. The setting suggests a puja or ceremonial occasion. Appearance-based identification is probable: the orange turban, saffron robes, and rudraksha necklace are present, and the page labels this as an event with Swamiji, so he is marked as probable Swamiji seated in a ceremonial position.
