A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork, palms pressed together in anjali mudra. He wears a dark turban-like wrap, a white forehead marking, a dark brown dhoti-style garment with gold trim, gold armbands, and a long necklace of pale flower-shaped beads. Golden shrine figures flank him: a four-armed deity holding a trident-like staff on the left and a figure playing a veena on the right, with golden kalasha-topped standards and a golden tray in front, all set against gold draped curtains. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a dark turban and distinctive gold necklace and armbands, and is the central figure of a throne display.
