A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne (peetha) on a stage. He sits in lotus posture with hands resting in his lap, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and a leopard-print shawl across his chest, with a rudraksha-style necklace, bangles and a tilak on his forehead; his hair is long and swept back with a crown-like ornament. A tall silver trident (trishul) stands to his left, and a leopard-print cloth hangs from it. Silver elephant figures flank the throne, a silver canopy hangs above, and brass oil lamps (lamps) glow along the stage in front of a backdrop of flickering lamp-like screens. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron and leopard-print clothing, long hair with crown ornament, and the trident and throne setting.
