A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions and a large repoussé silver backrest. He wears a rust-orange robe with gold borders, a long pink and white flower garland, a gold pendant, a gold necklace and rudraksha malas on his arms. He holds a silver trident aloft in his right hand, and a silver staff stands beside the throne. Two brass oil lamps sit on a silver stool at his feet. A red tilak marks his forehead. Swamiji (probable): his long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace fit the page's Swamiji claim. Background shows a teal backdrop with a temple-style illustration on a screen.
