A photograph of a man standing on a striped rug before an ornate golden shrine. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over the shoulder, a matching orange dhoti, a rudraksha mala and a large ceremonial gold necklace, and his long hair is swept back with a crown-like ornament. He raises one hand in blessing and holds a tall silver trident-staff. Behind him an elaborately carved gold throne-like structure with a deity murti and a peacock-feather fan arrangement is lit by warm light. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides and a lion figure sits near the front. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), in a ceremonial role at the throne, based on the saffron robe, rudraksha mala, gold necklace and swept-back hair.
