A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with lion-head armrests and a golden back carved with serpentine and scale motifs. He wears a dark, voluminous hair bun decorated with silver crescent and snake-like ornaments, a red-orange cloth draped over one shoulder, a dense rudraksha-style mala with a large gold pendant, and multiple gold necklaces and bangles. His palms are pressed together in front of his chest with eyes closed. A tall silver trident stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair with a crown-like ornament, saffron clothing, and ceremonial gold necklaces on a throne.
