A photograph of a seated man in white ritual dress against an ornate gold-embossed backdrop of a throne. He has long dark hair swept back, white sacred ash across his forehead and a red kumkum dot between his brows. He wears a white unstitched cloth draped over his shoulders and torso, multiple strands of brown rudraksha malas, a red coral bead necklace with a gold pendant, and rudraksha armlets with gold clasps. His hands are clasped in his lap, and an orange cloth rests on the armrest beside him. The visible appearance of long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklace matches the Swamiji (probable) description, seated in a gilded throne setting as a presiding figure.
