A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne on an orange-draped platform, decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, purple and orange flowers and green palm leaves. The seated man wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a white shawl over his shoulders, with a white and yellow flower garland and red-and-orange bead malas around his neck, and smiles. Two attendants in orange-red robes stand beside him: one holds a multicoloured striped parasol overhead, the other kneels at the throne's side. Trident-topped staffs and a brass trident stand near the platform, with tiered red steps and dark pillars behind. Spectators' hands reach up at the platform's edge. The figure's appearance, with long hair and saffron clothing, matches the page's claim, so this is a probable Swamiji in person; attendants and devotees are described by role only.
