A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, decorated with garlands of yellow, purple, red and green flowers behind him. He wears a deep crimson fan-pleated turban with a gold border and a central white jewel, an embroidered pink, lavender and silver sherwani with a gold chain necklace, and rich red trousers with gold embroidery. He holds a silver staff with a leaf-shaped finial in his right hand and rests his left hand on the armrest. A decorated deity figure with jewelled green garments is partly visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a crimson turban and ornate ceremonial gold necklaces, and is seated on a throne as a person being honoured in a festival setting.
