A photograph of a seated man in a richly decorated altar setting, hands pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed. He wears a golden crown with a peacock feather, a white garment with gold-bordered cloth, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and is garlanded with white jasmine and blue-dotted flower strands plus deep red blooms. He sits on a carved wooden throne with maroon velvet upholstery, flanked by a carved lion head and garlands of orange, pink and white flowers. A silver vessel heaped with pink petals and red blossoms sits before him. Swamiji (probable): the crown, rudraksha mala, gold ornaments and ceremonial white and gold garments are visible cues, seated on the throne as the honoured figure.
