A seated man in an orange-saffron silk kurta with gold embroidered sprigs and an orange shawl sits on a red zebra-striped cushioned throne flanked by gold lion-head armrests. Behind him a golden throne back is draped with garlands of yellow marigolds, white jasmine and red and purple flowers, and a green cloth backdrop hangs behind. A red tilak mark is on his forehead and a gold necklace is at his neck. A brass lamp with lit oil lamps stands at right, and a red flower arrangement sits at the lower right. Swamiji (probable) is shown in a saffron robe with long swept-back hair, seated in a ceremonial throne setting; the photo appears to be from the Jayanti Brahmotsavam celebrations.
