Photograph of a seated long-haired figure on an ornate gold-and-black throne with carved dark wooden arms. The seated person wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style garment with a leopard-print shawl draped over one shoulder, a white and magenta flower garland, gold beaded necklaces and a red tilak on the forehead, and holds flowers in folded hands. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklaces and garland, seated in the central position. To the left, a bald man in a white shirt stands with palms pressed together in namaste. In the foreground at bottom, the blurred heads of other people, one bald and one with dark hair, are partly visible. The backdrop is a large painted mountain scene with blue sky at upper right.
