A photograph of a single seated figure on an ornate golden throne (peetha) with a carved arched back, set on a gold-and-red cushioned dais decorated with pink, orange and purple flowers. The figure wears a saffron-orange turban, saffron-orange draped garment, a long rudraksha mala and a ceremonial necklace, with hands resting together in lap, eyes lowered in meditation. Flanking the dais are tall brass oil lamps (dipa) topped with bird figures, and behind is a bamboo-and-beaded curtain in red, orange and cream beneath a pink-and-blue cosmic backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron turban and garments, rudraksha mala and ornate necklace, seated on a throne in a satsang-style setting.
