A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne in front of a backdrop of garlands of yellow, orange, purple, white and red flowers. He wears a maroon turban, a red bindi and a tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha-style beaded mala in brown tones, multiple gold necklaces, gold bangles and armlets, and a golden ornament at his chest. His bare shoulders are visible, and he holds his palms together in namaste with a smile. A trident-like golden staff rises at the right edge of the throne. A swami-style figure with distinctive ceremonial adornments, identified by the page as a person, is seated in a formal ceremonial setting.
