A man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet cushion, flanked by two gilded lion sculptures with open jaws. He wears a cream turban with a jewelled ornament, a red bindi, a rudraksha mala necklace, and beaded armbands, and smiles while looking to his left. Behind him, colourful painted panels show a trident and deity figures. A small silver staff rests against the throne. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji, identified by the swept-back long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold-trimmed throne setting; the photo appears to be a stage or temple dais setting.
