A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate silver and gold palanquin-style throne beneath a canopy with multicoloured tasselled fringe. He wears a rust-brown robe and a long garland of pink flowers, and holds a tall silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand. A small tilak mark is visible on his forehead. Around him, partly visible people in orange and white clothing stand in the foreground and at the right edge, and golden ceremonial fixtures frame the scene. Stage lights glow in the background. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the palanquin and trident alongside his long hair, rudraksha-style garland and robe cues.
