A photograph of a person seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-head armrests and red tiger-striped cushions. The seated person wears a rust-orange turban with a silver brooch, an orange-red robe, a brown rudraksha-style bead necklace, and bangles, and holds a silver trident. Garlands of red and white flowers hang on the throne, with brass oil lamps beside it and a lotus-shaped column behind. The person has a red mark on the forehead and smiles with eyes closed. Swamiji appearance cues are present: rust-orange turban, rudraksha mala, and ceremonial trident, seated on a throne, so the identification is probable.
