A seated man in a cream turban and an ornate cream-and-gold brocade sherwani with a red sash sits on a red and gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, white and magenta flowers. He wears layered gold necklaces and a red tilak on his forehead, looking to the side with a slight smile. The Swamiji (probable) cues here are the ceremonial gold necklaces, ornate robes and turban, and the throne setting, and he is present in person in the photograph. A watermarked copyright line runs down the left edge, which is not transcribed.
