A photo of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion on a stage decorated with gold carved panels, a gold staff, and green leaves. The man has long dark hair, a short beard, a red-and-gold shawl, a rudraksha mala, a large gold ceremonial necklace, gold armbands and a red bindi, and holds a white prayer mala. Two people in white dhoti-style garments with gold borders sit on low gold stools at the left, and a woman in a white sari with a red-and-gold border sits at the right. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man on the throne, based on the long hair, saffron-toned ceremonial clothing and ornate gold adornments; the others are seated devotees or attendants.
