A man seated on an ornate silver throne under a red canopy fringed with multicoloured tassels, holding a silver ritual vessel in both hands. He wears an orange saffron cloth draped over his torso, multiple strands of brown and white beaded malas with pearl-like arm bands, and a leopard-print shawl over his lap. A red bindi and white tilak mark his forehead, and his long hair is tied up at the crown. Behind him stands a green plant with white spathe flowers. A golden lion-shaped footrest sits at the lower left on a white rug. The throne and canopy suggest a seated ceremonial appearance; this is an in-person photograph. Swamiji (probable): the visible cues are long hair tied up, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style beaded malas and an ornate throne, consistent with the page's claim.
