A sepia-toned photograph of a smiling bearded man seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne carved with floral scrollwork and a lion head. He wears a pink-and-gold turban adorned with jewelled ornaments and a peacock-feather style emblem, bare-chested, with layered pearl necklaces and pearl sashes across his torso, and a rust-coloured dhoti with gold border. Gold bangles and bracelets are on his wrists, and he holds a silver ceremonial staff across his lap. A soft brown wall hanging appears at the upper left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure matches the page's Swamiji reference through his distinctive ceremonial turban, pearl adornments and gold-trimmed regal dress, seated as the central figure of the scene.
