A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaste, on an ornate gold-and-red throne. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and a white jasmine garland around his neck, with a red tilak on his forehead. A golden lion-head figure sits by his right side, and a brass oil lamp with a lit flame burns on a stack of books at right. A sheer yellow-gold curtain with a grid pattern hangs behind him. A partially visible person's head appears at the lower right corner. The setting suggests a paada pooja honouring the seated figure. Probable Swamiji: long hair, orange saffron clothing, and white garland on a throne match the page's Swamiji designation.
