A man seated on an ornate gold throne smiles broadly, wearing an orange turban with a silver ornament and a red tilak on his forehead. He wears a cream embroidered sherwani, a long rudraksha mala with silver and gold beads, and red pleated trousers, and holds a silver staff topped with a bird finial. The throne is backed by a floral arch of marigolds in yellow, red, purple and white. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, rudraksha mala and ornate ceremonial clothing match the throned figure, presented as the honoured seated figure in this photograph.
