A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate golden throne, its back arched with garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers. He sits cross-legged with hands folded in his lap, wearing a gold necklace, a rudraksha-style mala and a gold headband with a red bindi. Gold-carved armrest panels flank the throne, which sits on a gold base decorated with white flower strands. Behind him hang red and magenta patterned drapes with orange wave motifs. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, gold necklaces and a crown-like headband on a throne, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
