A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved, heavily decorated backrest and armrests. He wears layered garlands of red and yellow flowers, a gold pendant, beaded necklaces and gold bangles, and holds a silver staff upright in his right hand. Red velvet cushions and a striped tiger-skin-patterned seat cover support him. Behind the throne are potted plants, rocks and a painted forest backdrop, and a small kumkum or vibhuti mark is visible on his forehead. The figure is smiling and appears to be seated for a satsang setting. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in saffron robes, orange turban, gold throne and garlands fits the ceremonial cues of this archive photo.
