A man seated on an ornate golden throne carved with figures, flanked by two gilded lion heads with leopard-print cushions. He wears a gold crown, a red-brown ochre robe, a white and pink flower garland and a gold necklace, with a vertical tilak on his forehead and a red thread on his wrist. He holds a silver staff topped with a small figure, and hanging brass bells and a brass lamp stand beside him. His eyes are closed in meditation. Strings of fairy lights are visible at the edge of the frame. The distinctive crown, ochre robe, garland and throne are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) identity given for this event, and the image appears to be a photograph of a seated figure in a ceremonial setting.
