A photograph of a ceremonial stage at a Dasara celebration. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms wears a saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with long swept-back hair, and smiles while his hands rest in his lap. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, seated on a throne. Before him, a person in a white dhoti and white shawl bends forward to touch his feet, while a seated attendant in orange robes sits at the lower left. Behind the throne, a large red-and-gold backdrop shows a painted deity face with a crown and jewelled ornaments, flanked by golden staffs, a trident and marigold garlands around the throne. Mala-like garlands and a microphone stand are visible at the right.
