A photo of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with a carved gold back, lion-head armrests and a striped tiger-skin cloth draped over the seat. He wears a rust-orange and saffron robe, a gold-bead necklace with an orange rudraksha-style mala, gold armbands and a red bindi, with long dark hair swept back. Hanging brass bells and oil lamps flank the throne, and painted green-and-gold pillars with raised arms frame the scene. Seated devotees are visible at the bottom edge. Swamiji (probable) is the man on the throne, distinguished by his saffron robe, long swept-back hair, gold necklace and rudraksha mala.
