The seated man wears a cream and gold robe, a pale turban topped with a decorative crown and peacock feather, and a pink and white flower garland across his chest. He holds a white flower in one hand and smiles. Flanking him, a woman in a white sari stands at left beside a table of fruit, and a man in orange robes with long swept-back hair, holding a camera, stands at right. A man in white clothes leans in, and a small boy in a striped shirt bends forward near the throne. Flower petals cover the red carpet, and a painted orange mountain backdrop fills the background. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure are a crown, turban, ornate gold-and-cream clothing and a trident, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person seated on the throne.2009-08-16November 29 20092009-11-29July 17 20082008-07-17A photograph from a ceremony where a seated man on a gilded throne is being honoured.
