A photograph of a stage event with a seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and red cushions. He wears rust-brown robes, a rudraksha mala, multiple gold ceremonial necklaces, a white floral garland, beaded bracelets and a white tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back hair and a full beard. A young man in orange robes with long braided hair stands at left holding a tall gold staff topped with a trident. A woman in a maroon sari with gold border sits at right beside the throne. Stage lights and a red and dark backdrop surround them. The seated man is a probable Swamiji (probable) based on long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, gold necklaces and the throne setting.
