A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and gilded swan or peacock motifs, hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed. He has long matted hair piled high, a sandalwood or vibhuti mark on his forehead, a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long beaded mala with a large pendant, and bangles. Leopard-print cushions sit on the throne, a microphone stand is at his side, and a gold staff stands at left. Painted backdrop panels and orange fringed hangings frame the stage. Swamiji (probable) is seated in the central role on the throne, with cues of long hair, saffron clothing and a mala.
