A photograph of a seated man on a decorated throne with a flower-garland backdrop of marigolds, roses and jasmine in yellow, red, purple and white. He wears a gold jeweled crown, a red and gold brocade outfit with a cream shawl, a heavy gold necklace and rings, and holds a silver staff topped with a white bird. The throne arm ends in a gold lion head. The man appears to be a probable Swamiji by his crown, ornate saffron-red and gold clothing and gold ornaments, though this is an appearance-based label only.
