A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a gold-upholstered throne-like chair against a pale backdrop. He wears an orange saffron shawl draped over the shoulder and chest, a leopard-print garment over his right shoulder, and a long necklace of large gold beads with black bands. A red bindi and white tilak mark his forehead, and his hands are clasped in his lap. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold bead necklace, seated in the role of a speaker or honoured teacher. Only one physical person is visible.
