Photograph of a seated figure on a gilded throne before a maroon velvet drape, wearing an ornate white and multicoloured jeweled crown, an orange-saffron garment, a gold beaded necklace, and a thick white jasmine garland with red and yellow flowers and green leaves. He has closed or lowered eyes and a smile. A tall brass trident-staff with hanging bells stands at left, held by a man in white dhoti and shirt with glasses. A second man in white kneels at right holding a steel tray with a pineapple and betel leaves, while another attendant in white is partly visible at right. A green-and-yellow flower heap lies on a red velvet cushion at the foot of the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a crown, saffron clothing and gold necklace, consistent with the page's account of a ceremonial honouring; this is an appearance-based label only.
