A photograph of a smiling man seated on a leopard-print cushioned throne, flanked by two silver lion statues. He wears a rust-orange saffron wrap draped over one shoulder, a red tilak on his forehead, long dark hair and a short beard, and holds a rudraksha mala in his hands. Behind him is a backdrop of tiered flower garlands in red, purple, yellow and white roses. A silver ritual pedestal with a small white cup sits at left. Only the seated man is a physical person in the scene. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identifiable by the saffron wrap, long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial setting, though appearance cues are not conclusive.
