A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne in front of red curtains. The figure wears a maroon-red turban, a maroon-red draped cloth over a bare upper body, a gold necklace and a vertical tilak on the forehead, with eyes closed and a smile. A man in a white shirt stands at left with his back to the camera, his right palm raised toward the seated figure. A silver ceremonial staff stands behind the throne. A thin golden barrier rail runs across the foreground. The appearance of the seated figure, with a swept-back long hair, turban and gold necklace, is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) seated in a receiving or darshan role, though the identity is not certain.
