A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne encrusted with red, green and blue jewelled motifs, with elephant-head armrests and tiger-striped cushions. He wears a reddish-brown robe, layered gold necklaces, a long yellow and white flower garland with pink blossoms, gold armbands and a vertical sandalwood mark on his forehead, and smiles toward the camera at night against a dark foliage background. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-brown robes, gold necklaces and garland cues suggest the Nithyananda Paramashivam presentation; the seated throne role is noted but not the basis of the identification.
