A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with floral garlands of pink and yellow flowers. The seated man wears an orange robe and a pink and multicoloured garland, long dark hair, and is smiling with one hand extended. In front, a young boy in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala bows with hands folded near the throne's gilded base, while an older man in orange robes bends forward with palms pressed together. Behind them, a man in orange wears a head covering, and at the far left another man in white with a yellow garland stands. Flower arrangements in green, red and orange frame the throne. The throne is a devotional darshan setting. Swamiji appearance is a probable match based on the long hair, orange robe and garlands on the seated figure.2009-12-24December 24 20092009-12-24December 24 20092009-12-24A man in a saffron-orange robe stands before an ornate gold throne-like seat decorated with floral garlands in pink, white and yellow-orange.
