A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne decorated with garlands of yellow, red, pink and purple marigolds and white flowers, with green leaves framing the arch. He wears a beige turban, a white draped garment over one shoulder, a red bindi, multi-strand gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, and a coiled gold armlet. His hands rest clasped in his lap and he smiles. Red and orange cushions line the throne seat. Swamiji (probable) is seated in a ceremonial sitting, showing the saffron-free white ritual dress, long hair and ornate gold adornments.
