A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, in front of a painted backdrop of large trees. The seated figure wears an orange saffron wrap with a gold-bordered edge, a gold-beaded necklace and a dark forehead mark, and is adjusting a long gold bead mala with both hands while looking down. In the foreground a second person with short dark hair, seen from behind, wears a plain white short-sleeved shirt and kneels close to the throne. The throne is gilded with carved floral and scroll patterns. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, a distinctive saffron wrap and gold ceremonial beads, so the appearance-based label applies as a probable Swamiji in person.
