A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair seated cross-legged on a raised golden platform in a stage setting. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style robe draped over his shoulder and a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, and a red thread on his wrist. He rests one hand on a golden bowl-shaped vessel near a gilded bull figure (nandi-like) and lotus-patterned golden lamp stands. Behind him are a gilded deity statue wearing jewelled garlands, golden lion-like carvings, green leaves, and warm orange lighting with a red drape. The man appears to be Swamiji (probable) based on the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-orange robe, seated in a ceremonial position as the centre of the stage. Statues and carvings are not counted as people.
