A man seated on an ornate silver throne with carved lion and scroll details and leopard-print cushions, against a black backdrop. He wears a gold crown with a sunburst-style gold halo, a saffron-red robe, a gold ornamental necklace, and rudraksha bead bracelets and mala. He holds a long silver staff upright beside him, places his palms together in anjali mudra, and smiles broadly. Garlands of pink and white flowers hang across his shoulders and chest. The appearance and ceremonial presentation match the Swamiji (probable) cues of ornate saffron clothing, crown and rudraksha malas, seated in an honoured position; he is shown in person in this photograph.
