Photograph of a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a maroon embroidered kurta with gold-thread trim and a long white and yellow flower garland. He smiles and raises his right hand in a namaste-like gesture beside a gold trident-shaped staff at the lower right. Behind him are green foliage and a dark backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate maroon clothing and garland fit the candidate presentation, with a gold trident staff and throne as ceremonial context.
