A man seated on a golden throne with yellow cushions, smiling and holding his palms together in a namaste gesture. He wears an orange-red turban, an orange-red shawl and orange garments, with a large white and red jasmine-and-rose garland draped across his chest and multiple rudraksha bracelets on his wrists and arms. Behind him is a backdrop of colorful marigold and flower garlands, and to the right are ornate silver and gold lamps and a golden deity figure, with small lit lamps glowing in the background. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha malas and ornate garlands with a ceremonial throne match the page's identification, so this is an in-person candidate seated in a darshan setting.
