A man sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a small red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest together in his lap and his feet are bare, resting on a red footstool with a gold base. A microphone stand is positioned beside him. Behind him, a deity murti in red and white garments with a gold necklace sits on a shrine with silver vessels and flower garlands.

The figure holds palms pressed together in anjali, with a red bindi on the forehead and bare feet on the throne's lower step. Fruit sits on red side tables beside the throne, and a backdrop of flame-orange patterned fabric fills the background. The page labels this as an ashram event photo, but the figure's appearance alone does not establish identity, so the role is given as a seated devotee in namaskar on a throne.2009-08-31August 02 20102010-08-02 +1 copiesA man seated on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions and a pink-and-yellow flower garland draped over its back, hands pressed together in namaskar with eyes closed.

He wears an orange turban with a small jewelled brooch, orange robes with gold-edged borders draped over the shoulder, and a rudraksha mala with a second rudraksha necklace at the chest. A red tilak marks his forehead. Bare feet rest on a patterned carpet, with flower petals and a few offerings near the lower left.

Behind him are gold-decorated altar items, marigold garlands, a stone carved sculpture on a dark pillar, and an orange-painted wall with a curtain. The throne and saffron clothing suggest a seated teacher, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity from the image itself.
