A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, framed by a dark stone wall and painted deity figures at the edges. He wears an orange turban with a red tilak, an orange saffron-coloured cloth wrap, multiple strands of rudraksha-style beads and a gold chain, and gold armbands; he smiles with eyes closed and holds a white fan-like object. A green parrot perches on the left armrest. A man in a striped orange-brown shirt sits in the foreground with his back to the camera, and two women in teal and dark saris are partly visible at the lower edges, one holding a small object. Brass oil lamps hang from chains on either side. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron wrap, rudraksha beads and ornate gold throne setting are the qualifying cues for the seated figure.
