A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with elaborate floral and scroll carvings, his hands raised palms-forward in a blessing gesture. He wears a sky-blue dhoti-style robe draped over one shoulder, long rudraksha-style beaded malas in brown and white around his neck, a small red pendant, bangles on his wrists, and a red bindi with white vibhuti markings on his forehead. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Dark silhouettes of other people are visible at the bottom edge of the frame. The image is a photo of an event with a gold throne, consistent with a Pada Puja ceremony where a devotee is honoured, though this is not visibly labelled. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by his long hair, rudraksha malas and blessing pose.
