A bearded man with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests, his feet bare and resting on a tiger-skin cushion. He wears rust-orange robes with a gold-bordered wrap, a gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant, and several beaded malas. Behind him, golden deity murtis with jewelled crowns and a ceremonial trident stand in a glittering golden shrine setting. Gold candlestands and decorative metalwork frame the scene. The man's appearance and throne seating are consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the identification is based only on appearance cues and is therefore uncertain.

April 30 20172017-04-30April 30 20172017-04-30 +2 copiesA man seated on an ornate golden throne in the centre of a richly decorated stage, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl draped over his shoulders and across his chest. He wears layered rudraksha malas, a large gold pendant necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a sacred thread. His hands rest on lion-head armrests of the throne, and he has a tilak on his forehead and a short beard. Behind him, large golden deity murti figures with jeweled crowns and ornate necklaces are seated, and a golden trident stands to the left. The scene is lit warmly with golden and orange tones. A figure in this seat with long hair, ornate gold jewellery and orange robes fits the a person profile, but the face and build here are uncertain, so this is an unsure appearance-based candidate seated among devotional statues.2017-04-30 +2 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +2 copiesA photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne in front of a large, richly decorated backdrop of gilded deity figures with jeweled crowns, necklaces and ornaments. The seated man wears a rust-orange and brown draped cloth, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, multiple gold chains, gold armbands and bangles, and a gold crown. He has a red tilak mark on his forehead and long dark hair, and holds a golden bowl-like object in one hand. A tall striped staff or trident-like rod stands to the left, and blurred orange and gold objects appear in the foreground. Appearance cues match the page's Swamiji reference (long hair, crown, saffron-toned clothing, ceremonial gold necklaces), so this is a probable Swamiji in person seated on a throne as a central figure.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +2 copiesA photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate golden throne in a richly decorated hall.

Behind him stand large golden deity murtis adorned with jewelled garlands and a brass trident (trishul) rises at left. Tiger-stripe fabric lies beneath the seat, and a brass lamp stands at right. A man in a dark orange dhoti and shawl with a shaved head and tilak, seated under the throne's ornate backdrop, shows a ceremonial presentation with gold and saffron tones dominating the frame.2017-04-30 +2 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +2 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copies
