A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne decorated with garlands of yellow, white, and red flowers and a blue and gold embroidered canopy. He wears a saffron-orange robe, a gold crown-like headpiece with a crescent ornament, a dense gold ceremonial necklace of beads, and a white flower garland. He holds a silver trident in his right hand and smiles, while golden lion heads flank the throne base with leopard-print cushions. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair swept up under a gold crown, saffron robe and ornate gold necklaces match the presentation cues of the described figure, seated in a procession palanquin setting.
