A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne carved with lions, yali figures and scrollwork, with a leopard-print cushion on the seat. He is bare-chested with rust-red cloth wrapped at the waist and a loose rust-red shawl, wearing a white and pink flower garland, gold necklaces and gold armbands, and holding a rudraksha mala in his hands. A golden trident stands to his left, brass lamps flank the throne, a white electric fan is at the left edge, and tall tassel decorations in red, blue and green hang on the right. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair, full beard, saffron-red attire and ceremonial gold jewellery, seated in the centre of the stage.
