Photo of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a gold-and-red cushioned seat and a large gold arched backrest. He wears a cream turban with a red tilak mark, a saffron-yellow garment, a multi-strand rudraksha mala and a long pink-and-yellow flower garland. He smiles and rests his hands on the armrests. In the foreground at left, a man in orange robes kneels and holds a lit oil lamp aarti, with the flame visible. Brass hanging lamps are visible at the top of the dark stone wall. Probable Swamiji by appearance: the seated man wears a turban, rudraksha mala, flower garland and saffron-yellow clothing while seated on a throne.
