A photograph of a seated figure in a ceremonial setting, eyes closed and smiling, wearing an ornate gold crown with a red bindi on the forehead, a multi-strand gold necklace and a long purple-and-white flower garland. The figure sits before a large circular backdrop decorated with jewel-like inlays and bright marigold garlands in yellow, orange and red. In the foreground, the back of two heads are visible, one with hair pinned with a gold ornament, and a golden lion or animal figure rests on the right. The seated figure appears to be a Swamiji (probable) in a ceremonial throne setting, with crown, garlands and gold jewellery as distinguishing cues.
