A photograph of a bearded man in a brown ochre sannyasi robe standing on a stage before an ornate golden throne with a large jewelled heart-shaped backrest in green, blue, red and white. He raises both hands in greeting, smiling, with a white tripundra on his forehead, a brown rudraksha mala around his neck and a long red and white flower garland with a tassel hanging to his waist. Behind him is a golden carved deity murti above the throne, and a tray of fruit and yellow and white flower garlands sit at the base. The throne is draped with leopard-print cushions and a colourful woven rug covers the floor. The man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long dark hair, rudraksha mala and ornate ceremonial setting, shown in person on stage.
