Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved, golden backrest and a red velvet cushion, under a jewelled canopy umbrella with fringe. He wears a rust-red robe, a red and white flower garland, gold ornaments and a white tilak on his forehead, and holds a silver trident staff beside him. Attendants in white clothing stand on either side, with an orange cloth-covered table and water bottles in front. A bamboo backdrop and a standing fan are visible at night. Swamiji (probable): long, swept-back dark hair, saffron-red ceremonial robe, ornate gold necklaces and a garland, seated on a throne, consistent with the page's event report.
