A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne in front of a large, richly decorated backdrop of gilded deity figures with jeweled crowns, necklaces and ornaments. The seated man wears a rust-orange and brown draped cloth, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, multiple gold chains, gold armbands and bangles, and a gold crown. He has a red tilak mark on his forehead and long dark hair, and holds a golden bowl-like object in one hand. A tall striped staff or trident-like rod stands to the left, and blurred orange and gold objects appear in the foreground. Appearance cues match the page's Swamiji reference (long hair, crown, saffron-toned clothing, ceremonial gold necklaces), so this is a probable Swamiji in person seated on a throne as a central figure.
