A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a red garland, seated on an ornate golden throne canopied and wrapped in white jasmine and red, yellow and orange marigold garlands. A trident leans beside the throne and a red cushion sits beneath him. A dark silhouetted figure stands at the left edge, and a person in white is partly visible at the right. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, distinguished by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha-style red garland and enthroned honour, and is shown in person.
