A photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, raising both hands in greeting. He wears a white dhoti and a white shawl draped over one shoulder, a large necklace of gold beads, a bangle on one wrist, and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him stand a golden horse-shaped figure and fabric in teal and magenta decorated with garlands of purple and orange flowers. In the lower left, a shaved-headed man in white with gold jewellery covers his face with his hands. The setting appears to be a formal stage or temple-like hall. Based on the long hair, saffron-free white attire, gold bead necklace and throne setting, this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a position of honour.
