Photograph of a seated man in a rust-red sannyasi shawl and dhoti, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair, eyes closed and smiling, seated on an ornate white and red throne in a hall during the Navarathri Darbar. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rust-red saffron-toned robes and a ceremonial bindi-style forehead mark on a throne. Behind him a silver trishula stands upright, and in front of the throne a devotee with a tied-up hairstyle and a gold-trimmed cloth sits with hands folded. Seated devotees in orange, white and bare-chested with rudraksha malas fill the foreground and background. A small electronic device sits on a side table.
