A photograph of a single seated man on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions and carved lion heads. He wears a red-orange saffron-coloured cloth wrapped over one shoulder, a red sash, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, a gold waist belt, and a red-and-gold wrap. He has a red tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair. His right hand rests near his chin and his left hand on his knee, and he smiles. Presentation cues (long hair, saffron clothing, gold ornaments, ceremonial throne) suggest the Swamiji (probable), seated in person on the throne. The background is dark with a silver ornamental backrest behind the throne.
