A seated man on an ornate golden throne with a carved gilded arch and red velvet cushions, raising one hand in a blessing gesture. He wears an orange-red sleeveless tunic, a saffron-gold shawl draped over his lap and shoulder, cream trousers, and a long red-beaded mala with a pendant necklace and bangles. Long dark hair frames his face, and he holds a silver-tipped staff. The seat is covered with white fluffy fabric. The photograph is a close, warmly lit portrait taken in a dark hall. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, saffron-gold ornate clothing and rudraksha mala are visible cues, seated as the central figure on a throne.
