A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a high, elaborately carved back and gold-embossed armrests, set against a backdrop of yellow, white, red and purple flower garlands. He wears a purple head wrap, a pink shawl draped over one shoulder, a brown sash at the waist, a yellow silk dhoti, and layered gold and beaded necklaces, and he sits with arms outstretched, smiling. Swamiji (probable) cues: long dark hair, a purple head wrap, saffron-pink and yellow ceremonial clothing, and ornate necklaces, shown here seated on the throne. Bare feet rest on a red cushion. A gold-carved cabinet stands at left and a framed picture sits on a small table at left edge.
