Close-up photograph of a man seated in front of an elaborate gold throne with repoussé floral and scroll carvings and rows of gold studs. He wears an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered wrap over one shoulder, a heavy gold bead necklace, and a black thread. A red kumkum dot sits on his forehead, and his gaze is turned to the side with a faint smile. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back dark hair, saffron robes, ceremonial gold necklace and a throne-seated stance are consistent with the page's attribution, though the match is not certain.
