A photograph of a man standing centre-frame before an ornate gold throne with carved lion figures and red velvet cushions, a tiger-striped cloth draped on the seat, and deep red velvet drapes behind. He raises both arms high with open palms and smiles broadly. He wears a rust-brown dhoti and matching shawl, a red and white flower garland, layered rudraksha malas, a gold pendant, gold bangles, earrings and a red bindi. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-brown robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, appearing as a standing presenter before the throne.
