A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-brown leather throne flanked by two golden lion-head armrests. He wears a maroon-red sleeveless robe with a draped shawl and a long rudraksha mala of red beads, with white tilak marks and a red bindi on his forehead. A silver trident stands at the left edge, and a few dark-haired heads are visible at the bottom of the frame as audience members. The backdrop has cream marble-patterned panels. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-red ceremonial clothing, and is presented on a throne before an audience.
