Close-up photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork, smiling toward his left. He wears a tall black turban with a silver crescent ornament, a white tripundra forehead mark, and hoop earrings. He is bare-chested and wears many layers of rudraksha beads in brown and tan, with gold-and-white kundan-style clasps and a jewelled central pendant. Gold drapery forms the background. The figure's appearance (turban, crescent, layered rudraksha malas and ceremonial jewellery) matches the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification of Swamiji (probable) seated in person on the throne.
