A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair seated on an ornate gilded throne with a curved, carved backrest. He wears an orange-red robe, a red-and-white flower garland, a long gold-bead necklace and a red bindi on his forehead, with a leopard-print shawl draped over one arm. The throne is framed by bands of marigold garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange robe and gold necklace, seated on a throne, as the honoured figure in the scene.
