A photograph of a seated figure on a red raised dais in front of a gold-framed red backdrop. A person with long dark hair and white-marked forehead sits on an ornate throne with golden lion-head armrests and a tiger-striped cushion. He wears a long multi-strand gold necklace, a heavy red, yellow and green flower garland, gold armbands and bangles, and a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap. Golden lion figures flank the throne and a grey curtain hangs behind. The seated figure shows Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, garland and saffron-orange clothing, seated as a central honoured figure on a throne.
