A man seated on an ornate silver throne decorated with jewel-toned gems in red, green, blue and purple, with elephant-head armrests. He sits on tiger-striped cushions, eyes closed and smiling, with a white-and-red tilak on his forehead. He wears a maroon-brown robe, layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and long garlands of pink and white flowers. A white fan is visible at left and a bright green backdrop with red and white cloths hangs behind the throne. A small logo sits in the top-left corner. A photo caption identifies the scene as a Shakti initiation event. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a maroon-brown robe, gold necklaces and a throne-seated ceremonial presentation, matching the page's description of Swamiji at this event.
