A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gilded throne with a golden lion-head armrest and deep red velvet cushions. He wears a rudraksha mala and a long red-brown bead necklace, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, gold earrings and a wristwatch, and he smiles while extending his hand toward a young boy beside him. The boy wears a maroon kurta-style outfit with gold trim and holds a small ornate gold-coloured object with a trident-like emblem. The background is a dark red velvet curtain. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-robed man seated on the throne, identified by his saffron robes, long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial beads.
