A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with lion and yali carvings, wearing an orange-red turban, saffron robe and a long gold-beaded necklace. He holds a folded pink card in one hand and places his other hand on the head of a devotee kneeling in front of him in white clothes with long dark hair. To the left, a bare-chested man with long hair and a white-and-yellow cloth sits beside a gold lion sculpture. Red tiger-striped cushions and a microphone stand are visible. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the probable identity cited in the page, with cues of a crown-style turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklaces, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) in a seated darshan blessing.
