Portrait photograph of a bare-chested man seated before an ornate silver-framed throne backrest decorated with floral scrollwork and a lion-face motif. He wears layered gold and rudraksha necklaces, a gold pendant, rudraksha bracelets on both wrists and upper arms, and white horizontal tilak on the forehead with a red bindi. He smiles broadly with one hand resting on a silver armrest. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair swept back, ornate gold ceremonial necklaces and rudraksha malas, and bare-chested ceremonial adornment identify the seated figure as the Swamiji candidate.
