A man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits on an ornate silver-and-gold throne with leopard-print cushions on a raised stage. Strings of rudraksha beads hang across his chest, and he wears armlets. Behind him a large backdrop shows a South Indian gopuram temple tower against a starry sky with a mountain. A gold canopy hangs above the throne, a gold footstool sits at his feet, and to the left a pillar draped with marigold garlands stands near a brass lamp. Swamiji (probable) is seated as the central figure in this presentation, identified by the saffron robes, orange turban and rudraksha malas, and his presence on the throne in front of the temple backdrop.
