A photograph of a seated man in a golden crown with a raised right hand in blessing, sitting in a decorated palanquin-style canopy. He wears an orange-saffron robe, layered red and white floral garlands, and a rudraksha mala with ceremonial beads. Behind him hang pink and white flower strands, green foliage, and white drapery with gold edging. A silver trident and a bald attendant in white with a tilak stand at the left edge, with rose petals and brass lamps in the foreground. The man is Swamiji (probable), identified by the crown, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, seated in a ceremonial setting.
