A photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate golden throne with a gold-embossed back panel depicting a deity. He wears a saffron-orange draped garment with a gold-bordered edge and a long necklace of large gold-toned beads. A small red mark is on his forehead. He smiles and raises one open hand in a gesture of address. A lit oil lamp with a flame stands at right against grey drapery. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing, gold bead necklace and a throne-seated, honoured presentation; this is an appearance-based label, not a confirmed identity.
