A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne under a red and gold fringed canopy umbrella. He wears a dark reddish-brown robe with a gold-coloured sash, a long rudraksha mala, and a gold pendant necklace. A pink and white flower garland hangs around his neck and purple flowers are placed in his long, swept-back dark hair. He has white and red tilak marks on his forehead, his eyes are closed, and his right hand is raised in a gesture. Behind him, two attendants in orange robes stand near the gold throne under a corrugated metal roof. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace on a throne, seated in a ceremonial setting.
