A photograph, rotated sideways, of a bearded man seated on an ornate golden throne with carved gold scrollwork and a gold ring-shaped backrest. He wears a maroon-brown robe with a thick orange-saffron shawl draped across his chest and waist, a red wristband, and his hands rest in his lap. A tiger-skin cushion or mat lies beneath, and a silver-and-gold ceremonial staff or trident stands at left. The background is a bright red striped drape. Swamiji (probable) appearance: long swept-back dark hair, saffron shawl and ornate throne, consistent with the page's reference to him at the event. The image is watermarked with the archive copyright, which is not described.
