A seated man in an ornate golden crown and a rust-orange wrap with gold ornaments sits on a silver throne draped with a leopard-print cushion. He wears a long gold bead necklace, gold armbands and a forehead tilak, and holds a silver staff in one hand while gesturing with the other. Behind him a large painted gopuram temple tower rises against a pink-orange backdrop, with a silver ritual tray and a red cloth on a small table at left. Swamiji (probable): the long swept hair, crown, saffron-orange wrap and rudraksha-style gold beads match the visible cues of the presiding teacher; this is an in_person photograph at a Navaratri darshan event.
