A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver-and-red velvet throne, bare-shouldered in a rust-brown garment with a saffron-orange shawl draped over one shoulder. He has long dreadlocked black hair swept back, a trimmed beard, a white horizontal tilak on his forehead, a thick gold chain necklace and a rudraksha-style necklace, and he gestures with his right hand while speaking. Behind him, a man in white ritual clothing with a white forehead marking and a saffron sash stands near the throne, and a shaved-headed person in white is partly visible at the lower right. The throne has carved lion-armrest details and a lamp motif on its back. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the long hair, saffron shawl, gold chain and rudraksha cues, presiding over a gathering.
