A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-form armrests, garlanded with red, yellow, purple and white flowers. He wears a lavender turban with a peacock feather, a pink shawl over a yellow silk dhoti with a maroon border, heavy gold necklaces and bangles, and smiles while holding a pink flower. Behind him stands a wooden pole hung with brass pots and ribbons, and a bowl of apples sits on the throne's ledge. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, turban, ornate gold jewellery and ceremonial throne mark him as Swamiji in a festive stage setting. Event decor and bright textiles suggest a staged darshan or celebration.
