A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-like armrests and carved peacock-style side panels, a golden canopy overhead and a heart-shaped backdrop encrusted with jewels and marigold garlands. He wears a rust-orange robe, a long rudraksha-style mala and a large ceremonial gold pendant, has a dark swept-back hair style and a white tilak on his forehead, and sits with arms open and bare feet on a red-and-gold dais. Probable Swamiji, identified by the throne setting and ceremonial cues; the image shows a seated figure with orange clothing, a gold necklace and long swept-back hair. Behind the throne are grey carved temple-style columns and a red curtain. No other people are clearly visible except a partial figure at the far left edge.
