A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions. He wears a rust-brown sannyasi wrap draped over one shoulder, leaves his other arm bare, and wears a long garland of white and pink flowers. He raises one hand in greeting while smiling. Behind the throne are gilded deity murtis adorned with jewels and orange garments, and a golden object sits in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ochre sannyasi robes and a garland on a gold throne, matching the page's note of his presence.
