A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne draped with a large horseshoe-shaped arrangement of marigolds, roses and garlands in red, yellow, purple and white. He wears a red turban, a red shawl over bare shoulders, red dhoti-style cloth, and a heavy gold necklace with gold ornaments. His hands are folded in his lap and he sits in a cross-legged pose with red cushions. To his right stands a tall golden trident, and on either side are brass oil lamps with lit flames. A small stand with a black-and-white label is beside the trident. The backdrop is a painted beige and blue wall. Since the page flags this event as involving Swamiji, and the figure has a turban, red-orange robes, gold necklaces and a throne setting, the central seated figure is Swamiji (probable).
