A seated man in a golden ornate throne with a carved lion-face backrest and a tall ornamental finial behind him, sitting in lotus pose on a maroon cushion. He wears a reddish-brown turban decorated with white jewelled brooches, bare-chested, with multiple tall rudraksha mala necklaces and a tiger-striped waist cloth, and holds his palms together in namaste. The warm sepia-toned photo shows a dark background with red foliage, and a small copyright credit appears in the lower right corner. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with rudraksha malas, ornate turban and ceremonial throne is a candidate for the Swamiji depicted in this archive photo; appearance-based only.
