A photograph of a seated figure on a red-cushioned golden throne, smiling broadly and gesturing with an open hand. He wears an orange turban, a saffron-orange robe, multiple rudraksha malas, and a long garland of orange and white marigolds. Beside him stands a golden lion-headed armrest. Around him, a man in a striped white-and-red polo shirt with glasses stands and speaks, a turbaned attendant in dark clothing stands behind, and a bald monk in orange and rudraksha beads sits in the foreground. A white pedestal fan and a red draped backdrop complete the setting. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange turban, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a marigold garland, seated on a throne; this is a plausible candidate, so the appearance-based label is used.
