A photograph of a figure seated on a maroon velvet throne-like seat with blue and gold trim, wearing an orange-saffron turban and orange robes with gold borders. He wears layered gold necklaces, a long yellow and orange marigold garland, a red and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala, gold armbands, and a red bindi. He raises one hand in blessing, holding a small white flower, and smiles. Behind him hang tall yellow tassels and white and pink flower garlands on a golden staff. A man in white dhoti with a green lanyard and a thread sash smiles at left. The figure is consistent with Swamiji (probable), based on the saffron turban and robes, rudraksha mala, ornate gold and garland adornments, and his seated, blessing role.
