A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair and a white tilak with red bindi, seated on an ornate golden throne with leopard-print upholstered seat cushions and red cushion covers, a gold lion-head armrest on each side. He wears a rust-red sleeveless robe, a long rudraksha mala and a gold chain, and rests his hands in his lap in front of a microphone on a stand. Behind him is a gold-embossed throne backing with a fan-like motif and gilded lion carvings. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, saffron-red robes and ornate gold adornments on a ceremonial throne, the cues that fit the page's reference to Swamiji.
