A smiling man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a deeply carved, repoussé backrest. He wears a red-maroon turban, a saffron-orange and maroon robe draped over one shoulder, and a long multi-strand rudraksha mala with a large gold pendant. Bare feet rest on a striped tiger-skin cloth. Maroon cushions surround him, and a red cloth covers the dais. Behind the throne are magenta and white decorations, pink floral garlands, and a silver lamp stand. A flower arrangement of purple roses and orange-yellow blooms sits in a vase to the left, and a red-brown wooden stand holds small glass items. The figure has long swept-back hair beneath the turban, a rudraksha mala, and saffron-orange clothing, matching the page's claim that Swamiji is present; the appearance cues are distinctive enough to label this as a probable Swamiji seated in person.

He wears layered rudraksha-style beaded malas, a large ceremonial gold pendant necklace, a gold bangle on each upper arm and a bangle on his wrist. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of a turban, saffron-toned ornate clothing, rudraksha malas and a gold pendant match the page's claim, so this is the in-person figure seated on the throne.2015-11-19 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20152015-09-14September 14 20152015-09-14A smiling man in a maroon turban with a jeweled ornament sits on an ornate gilded throne with deep red velvet cushions.

Beside him stands a tall silver staff with a round silver finial, and pink and yellow lotus flowers lie in the foreground. The backdrop is a dark starry night sky. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, with the turban, saffron-red garments, garlands and ornate throne as the qualifying cues.2015-05-07July 21 20152015-07-21A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved, shell-like back, set on a red velvet dais.
