A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair and a short beard seated on an ornate silver throne with carved elephant-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion. He wears a rust-red sleeveless garment with a leopard-print waist sash, a gold pendant necklace, and a red forehead mark. A long garland of red, yellow and white flowers hangs from his shoulders to the floor, and a red cushion rests at his feet. A silver staff with a serpent finial stands beside the throne. Probable Swamiji (probable) is seated, with long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a rust-red robe as appearance cues. The photo is a watermarked archive image and the surrounding setting appears to be a stage.
