Photo from behind of a man standing on an ornate gold-and-brown throne with carved gold lion armrests, hands on hips, facing a large seated audience in a hall with white draped walls. He has long braided black hair pinned up with a sweeping plait, a gold and white beaded necklace, a red-orange upper cloth and a leopard-print lower garment. A tall gold trident stands at left and a gold-handled staff at right. Audience members in orange, pink, red and white saris and kurtas sit in rows, some with palms pressed together. Swamiji (probable) is the standing figure on the throne, identified by the long hair and ornate clothing cues, shown here at a Sadashivoham session.
