A photograph of a man seated on an ornate throne decorated with a dense arch of red, yellow, white and purple flower garlands. He wears a rust-red garment with a gold-bordered edge, a gold necklace, and a white tilak with a red mark on his forehead; his long dark hair is swept back and he is smiling with hands folded in his lap. The throne has carved silver lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, and a shaped gold fabric hangs at the left. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and throne setting, seated as the honoured figure of the puja.
