A seated man in saffron-red robes sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a cobra hood and lion-head armrests, its seat cushions in leopard print. He wears a tall black turban-style crown with white horn-like ornaments, long gold beaded necklaces, a rudraksha-style chest garland, and gold bangles on both wrists, hands folded in his lap, smiling. A silver trident stands beside the throne against a dark backdrop with green foliage above. Swamiji (probable) appears in the central role on the throne, given the crown, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold adornments; the photo appears to be from an event with ritual setting.
