A photograph of a bare-chested man seated before an ornate silver throne backrest with a lion-face relief, against a painted forest backdrop with a white bull at right. He wears a tall dreadlocked topknot under a gold crown with a silver crescent, white sectarian markings on forehead and arms, and a dark tilak. He is adorned with multiple gold necklaces, a large gold pendant, rudraksha armbands and a gold waist ornament over a maroon cloth. His right hand is raised near his cheek while the left palm rests open, as if speaking. Probable Swamiji by visible cues: crown, dreadlocked hair, rudraksha and ceremonial gold adornments.
