A photograph of a single standing man in an ornate golden shrine room lit in warm orange light. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and draped shawl, a gold waist belt, layered gold and bead necklaces, a red tilak and a gold crown, and holds a tall ribbed staff in his right hand while raising his left palm in blessing. Behind him is a gilded arched canopy with a seated throne-like seat draped in cloth, flanked by carved golden pillars and a decorated altar. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides and a golden lion-shaped figure rests in the foreground. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), standing in front of a throne and a gilded altar, wearing orange robes, a gold crown and bead necklaces, holding a staff while blessing.
