A seated man in a rust-orange and red robe sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-shaped armrests and a tiger-stripe red cushion, in front of red and maroon draped curtains. He wears a red and gold turban, a long gold-beaded garland, gold armbands and a trident-topped silver staff with a coiled snake stands beside the throne. Swamiji (probable): the man has a crown or turban, saffron-orange ceremonial robes, a gold necklace and an enthroned stance, matching the page's note that Swamiji is present at this event. The photograph is a seated portrait of a dignified ceremonial throne setting with gold and red decor.
