A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched backrest and a red velvet seat cushion, set against a backdrop of green plants and rocks. He wears an orange turban with a red bindi, an orange shawl and saffron robe, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold pendant necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a long red-and-white flower garland. His bare feet rest on green carpet, and a silver-topped staff leans beside the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has an orange turban, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
