Nithyanandapedia
A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved gold arches and gold lion figures on each side, against a dark background. He wears a light blue headband, a tall dark topknot, and a full beard. He is bare-chested with layered gold and red-beaded necklaces, a gold chest ornament, gold armlets, and a rudraksha mala draped across his body, with a brown wrap at his waist. Gold bracelets and red threads are on his wrists. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha malas match the appearance cues, and the throne setting fits the page. Gold ceremonial pillars flank the throne.
