A photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate golden throne in front of an elaborately carved gold backdrop. He wears a light blue sleeveless tunic and a matching blue wrap draped over one shoulder, with multiple strands of rudraksha beads and a pearl necklace, rudraksha armlets, and bracelets. A white tilak and red bindi mark his forehead, and his hands are clasped in his lap. Part of a seated audience member's head is visible in the lower right foreground, and a microphone is near the throne arm. The throne's base shows Devanagari lettering. Distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial attire align with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.
