A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads, draped in a bright multicolour garland of white, yellow, green and red flowers. He wears a saffron-orange robe, a gold turban, a rudraksha mala with a gold necklace, and a red-orange tilak on his forehead, and he is smiling while touching his ear. A bald priest in white dhoti with an orange and green striped shawl stands at his side, and a second man in white shirt and dhoti with an orange lanyard stands at left. A tiger-skin cloth covers the seat, and a gold-and-colourful background with a painted deity figure is behind them. Judging by the presentation, the seated figure is a probable Swamiji (probable) wearing the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold turban.
