A man stands before an ornate gilded throne with a tiger-skin cushion and scattered red petals, waving his right hand. He wears a red-orange turban with a small emblem, a red-orange robe with a gold-bordered sash, a heavy rudraksha mala, and a large gold ceremonial necklace. He holds a tall trident with jewelled tines. Swamiji (probable): the figure's crown-like turban, saffron-orange ceremonial dress, rudraksha mala and gold necklace match the page's Swamiji claim; the figure is physically present in the photograph.
