A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing a rust-red robe and a brown shawl, seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and a tiger-striped mat. Rudraksha malas hang around his neck, and a vertical tilak mark is on his forehead. A golden trident stands to the left, a small wooden side table with a brass vessel sits beside the throne, and red drapes form the backdrop. Appearance cues include long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold setting, so this is a probable Swamiji seated on the throne.
