A photograph of a seated man in a golden crown set with red, green and pink stones, with white and red tilaka on his forehead and a red bindi. He wears heavy gold necklaces, a rudraksha mala with a dense red-and-brown garland, a saffron-orange garment, and gold bangles. Behind him is a large gold-leaf throne back framed by an arc of garlands in yellow marigold, red roses, white jasmine, purple flowers and green leaves. A probable Swamiji candidate appears in the photograph, matched by the saffron garment, rudraksha mala, ornate gold crown and ceremonial gold necklaces; identification rests on those visible cues.
