A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate golden throne with a heart-shaped backrest covered in sparkling gold, green, blue and red embellishments. He wears a rust-brown robe over a bare shoulder, a pink-and-white flower garland, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, with gold armlets and bangles. He has a tilak on his forehead and rests one hand on his chin while smiling. A silver tray sits on the golden dais in front. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and ornate throne match the page's reference to Swamiji, but appearance alone is not conclusive.
