A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne encrusted with coloured gems and enamel peacock motifs, draped with tiger-striped cushions. He wears a rust-red dhoti-style garment, a gold necklace and gold armlets, and a long pink-and-white flower garland. His hair is long and swept back, with a white horizontal tilak on his forehead, and his palms are pressed together in front of his chest as he looks upward. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and garland are the distinguishing cues, and he is seated on the throne in the role of a sannyasi giving a teaching during a Mandala Process initiation setting. Behind him are red floral decorations and a white curtain.
