A photograph of a man seated before a large gilded throne with ornate golden carved backrest and a red-orange canopy above. He wears a dark braided crown-like headpiece with gold ornaments, a red bindi on his forehead, a red-orange shawl over the shoulders, multiple layered rudraksha malas with gold spacers, and rudraksha bracelets on his arms. He holds a white ceremonial fly-whisk-like staff in his raised hand and gazes upward with a slight smile. Behind him at left is a large painted portrait of a man with orange turban and red tilak. Probable Swamiji is shown in person on the throne, wearing rudraksha malas and a crown-like headpiece; the portrait behind him is a depiction.
