A standing man in rust-orange robes with gold-bordered waistcloth raises both hands high, smiling, on a stage before an ornate gold throne with a gold arched backrest and gold lion-head armrests, draped in maroon velvet and a tiger-striped cloth. He wears a long multi-strand rudraksha mala with large gold beads, gold bangles and a wristwatch, a red bindi and gold earrings. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, orange robes and gold adornments match the expected presentation, though the photo cannot confirm identity.
