A man with long swept-back dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate silver throne with carved elephant armrests and a leopard-print cushion on a stage. He wears an orange-saffron sleeveless top and matching orange trousers, a thin necklace, and holds a white ceremonial fly-whisk or staff. A small silver stool and a low white dais sit in front, with a pink-and-orange temple backdrop showing gopuram towers and a colonnaded corridor behind him. Hanging crystal lamps are overhead. The figure's appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, throne, ceremonial staff) matches the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable identification.
