A close photograph of a man seated before an ornate gilded throne with carved floral and scroll patterns. He wears an orange-saffron shawl edged with gold, a red bindi on his forehead, and a heavy necklace of large gold beads with a black cord. Behind him is blurred greenery, and part of another person's head is visible at the right edge. Appearance cues (swept-back dark hair, saffron shawl, gold necklace, and bindi) are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable identification based on appearance alone.
