A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a gold-framed swing decorated with red, pink and white flower garlands, on a tiger-skin cushion. He wears a gold crown, a gold chain with a large pendant, a flower garland, and a reddish-brown robe, with a smiling expression and hands raised in a blessing gesture. Behind him stand painted deity statues in orange and red, a large ornate wooden door, and a silver vessel on the right. Brass oil lamps and a small golden animal figure sit in the foreground on a red carpet. Appearance-based cues of crown, robe and ornaments are present, so this is a probable Swamiji in person, seated on a decorated swing.
