Photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver-and-red throne inside a hall, holding a silver staff topped with a finial in his raised right hand. He wears a rust-red dhoti-style wrap, long gold necklaces, gold armlets with beaded bands, a red bindi and long dark hair, and smiles toward the right. Beside him stands a tall silver trishula (trident) on a silver stand. Behind him, a seated audience of devotees, many with white forehead markings, sits on the floor in a blurred room with pink walls. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and a red wrap as the qualifying cues; he is in the foreground, and the audience is seated behind him.
