Close-up photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne, wearing a rust-red silk turban with a gold and ruby jewelled brooch, a vertical red-and-white tilak on his forehead, gold earrings and a heavy gold necklace layered over pink and white flower garlands. The silver throne armrest with a diamond-pattern finial is in the foreground. The background is softly blurred. Swamiji (probable): the turban, gold jewellery and garlands are distinctive ceremonial cues, so this is an appearance-based candidate seated in person at a Pongal and Adheenavasis event.
