A seated man on a red-cushioned throne in front of a gold lotus-patterned backrest, garlanded with yellow marigolds and red, white and green flower strands. He wears a leopard-print head wrap, a vertical tilak on his forehead, layered gold necklaces and a gold pendant, maroon-red robes, gold armbands and a red-threaded wrist band. He holds a silver trident, a Shiva symbol, in his left hand and smiles at the camera. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair coiled under the head wrap, saffron-maroon robes, gold necklaces, rudraksha-style beads and a ceremonial throne setting. Single person, photograph, outdoor ashram setting.
