A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion and bird carvings, wearing a golden crown with a violet centre stone and a dark-haired wig-like hairstyle. He is dressed in a rust-red robe with a silver pendant and gold necklace, and is draped in long garlands of white jasmine, red roses, orange flowers and green-and-yellow beads. He holds a fruit or flower offering and smiles. Two figures in front, one in white and gold clothing, and several devotees in the foreground watch. A colourful heart-shaped floral backdrop with mirrored jewels fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a gold crown, long swept-back dark hair, a rust-red robe, rudraksha-style beads and ceremonial gold necklaces, with a throne and garlands marking him as the honoured central figure.
