Photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat, draped in a tiger-striped cloth. He wears a rust-red robe with a pink and white flower garland around his neck and a red thread bracelet, smiling at the audience. Flanking the throne are two gold-coloured female attendant statues holding trays. A silver trident stands to the left against a deep red curtain, and an orange-wrapped offering sits in the lower right foreground. The person seated appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron-toned robe, garland and throne setting.
