A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne carved with floral scrolls, elephant-shaped armrests and a large arched back. He has long dark hair swept back, a beard and moustache, and wears a sleeveless saffron-orange top with matching orange dhoti-style cloth, a light necklace and a bead bracelet. He holds a small silver-toned ritual object and a wand-like stick. Behind the throne is a backdrop painted with a temple gopuram, pillared corridors and a sunset sky. Stage lights are visible at the bottom. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate throne match the event context, so this is an appearance-based label only.
