A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat. He wears saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala with a tilak on his forehead, smiling with his hand extended. Beside him a man in a white dhoti with an orange-red cloth and a brown mala holds a copper or brass kalasha pot. A red and gold flag hangs to the side, and a brass lamp stands at the right edge. The setting resembles a stage or temple dais with a textured wall behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange robes, rudraksha mala and a throne setting.
