A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved golden lion-head armrests and a red tiger-striped cushion. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala with multiple brown beads falling to his waist, and gold earrings. A white tilak with a red bindi marks his forehead, and his right hand rests on the armrest beside a silver trident. Behind him hang red drapes decorated with orange marigold garlands. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues are the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, saffron clothing and throne seat, identified as the person seated in the ceremonial throne setting.
