A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate silver-and-gold throne, holding a tall golden trident with his right hand. He wears a rust-orange robe, a long rudraksha mala, a white flower garland, and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands a gilded deity murti in a golden arched shrine with a yellow-green drape, a red-maroon curtain backdrop, potted green foliage, brass oil lamps and a decorated pillar. A white cup sits on a small side table. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-orange robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland cues are present, and he is seated centrally on a throne, with the photo's caption connecting the event to Swamiji.
