A seated man in orange saffron robes sits cross-legged on a large red velvet throne with a rounded back. He wears a white tilak with a red bindi, gold hoop earrings, a gold necklace, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold pendant. Gold bangles adorn his arms, and he holds a tall silver staff hung with small silver bells in his right hand while speaking. Pink and white flower arrangements flank the throne, and a backdrop of ornate painted deity imagery and garlands fills the background. A water bottle and small items sit on the dais. Swamiji (probable) appears in this photo: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments.
