A man in a rust-brown sannyasi robe with a pink flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion armrests and a leopard-print seat cushion. He has a white tilak on his forehead, a trident-topped staff stands beside the throne, and he raises both palms toward the viewer with a broad smile. The background is a decorative arrangement of orange, white, and red-striped floral panels. Swamiji (probable): long hair, bearded face and ceremonial gold throne in a rust-brown robe with a garland, a seated figure of distinctive presentation. The man is physically present in the photograph.
