A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with ornate ceremonial gold trim and a long rudraksha-style gold bead necklace, wearing a red and blue turban, smiling and raising his right hand while holding an Italian tricolour flag on a pole. He sits on a gilded, red-cushioned throne with ornate gold carvings. Behind him stands a tall gold-framed backdrop and a potted palm. Four seated people in white clothes sit to the left, one man in white shirt and glasses, women in white and a light beige outfit, watching him. Photo credit text is visible on the right side of the image. Swamiji (probable): the man on the throne has long swept-back hair, a turban, saffron ornate robe and beaded gold necklace.
