A photograph of a seated man in a large ornate gilded throne with scrolling golden carvings. He wears a rust-red ochre robe, a long gold chain necklace, a red thread wrist band, and a white vertical tilak with a red bindi on his forehead. Both palms are raised before his chest in a greeting gesture, and he smiles broadly. Flanking the throne are brass figurines of female attendants holding small brass bowls. Red velvet draperies and a green plant form the backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, ochre robe, gold necklace and ornate gilded throne match the page's Swamiji claim, so this is an in-person candidate.
