A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests draped in red and maroon tiger-striped fabric. He has long, swept-back dark hair and wears an orange-saffron silk kurta embroidered with gold sequins, layered with gold chains and a beaded necklace. He smiles and gestures with raised hands. Behind the throne are garlands of white flowers, yellow marigolds and red blossoms, and a gilded panel with a relief figure. A green backdrop displays a large painted sun-like motif, and red flowers appear at the lower right. This is a photo, and the man shows distinctive long hair, saffron ornate clothing and gold necklaces, so this is a probable Swamiji candidate in a seated, honoured setting.
