A photograph of an ornate gold and red velvet throne with a zebra-striped cushion and a leopard-print drape over the table in front. A standing man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a gold-beaded mala necklace, gold bangles and an upper-arm band, has a hand resting near the throne's armrest. A brass oil lamp and small brass deity figures sit on the table beside a water bottle. The backdrop shows a dark cosmic design with red and orange starry motifs. The man has long swept-back hair and a tilak and appears to be the presenter; the photograph shows only this one person.

He wears a large gold ceremonial necklace of beads, gold earrings, beaded bangles on his upper arms, and a tilak on his forehead; his long dark hair is swept back. A brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped finial stands beside him on a red cloth, and his hand rests near the lamp. The background is a red and black draped backdrop with a glowing red arc.

He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a long gold-beaded necklace and a red-and-white tilak. Gold armlets sit on his upper arms, and he rests his hands on the red-cushioned armrests. Gold lamps stand on both sides of the throne, and a dark backdrop with orange clouds and a stars motif fills the background. The seated man appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his saffron robes, long hair, gold ornaments and the throne setting, though the identification is based on appearance cues rather than any name shown in the image.2012-09-26October 04 20122012-10-04September 28 20122012-09-28September 28 20122012-09-28September 26 20122012-09-26
