A smiling man with long dark hair, a tilak on his forehead and a short beard sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with red, green and blue jewel-like stones, with a tiger-striped cushion. He wears a rust-red robe, two long yellow marigold garlands, a gold ceremonial necklace with a temple-shaped pendant, gold chains, rudraksha bracelets on the upper arms, and folds his hands in his lap. Pink flowers lie near his hands. The visible cues of long hair, ornate clothing and rudraksha are consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated as the honoured figure in this Navaratri-related photograph; the single person is physically present in the scene.
