A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate wooden peetha throne with a golden arched backrest, flanked by two golden lion statues on dark pedestals. The figure wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a gold-trimmed edge, a long rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, a floral garland of orange, yellow and pink blossoms, and an ornate gold-and-red crown. The right hand is raised in blessing. Brass bowls holding flowers and small oil lamps lie on the floor before the throne, with a lit lamp in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the figure shows long swept-back hair, a crown, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas. The scene is dark with a stage-like background.
