A photograph of a man seated on an ornate, jewel-encrusted silver throne decorated with red, green and purple stones. He has closed eyes and a gentle smile, with a vertical sandalwood tilak on his forehead and a dark rudraksha-style bead necklace. He wears a rust-brown cloth draped over his body, a thick yellow marigold garland and a heavy gold ornamental necklace. Red and beaded wristbands are visible on his arms, and one arm rests on a silver ceremonial vessel with gemstone inlays. A tiger-striped cushion is partly visible behind him. The image appears to be a copyrighted archive photo of a ceremonial occasion. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, a seated throne presence, rudraksha bead necklace and gold ornaments, matching the page's reference to Swamiji at the event.
