A seated man in saffron-orange ceremonial dress sits on an ornate red upholstered throne with silver-gilt carved trim against a deep red curtain. He wears a saffron turban with a yellow feather and jewelled ornament, a crescent-shaped gold pendant at the turban, drop earrings, a tilak mark on his forehead, and a long rudraksha-style bead mala with a gold necklace over an orange sleeveless garment. A ceremonial sceptre with a carved finial rests beside the throne arm and an orange shawl drapes the armrest. Appearance-based probable Swamiji cues include the ornate turban, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace seated on a throne; this is a photograph of a person in an event setting.
