A photograph of a single man seated on an ornate golden throne in a temple-style hall. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with a gold and jewelled brooch, a red tilak mark on his forehead, and a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders. He has a long dark beard and wears a brown rudraksha mala with gold beads and a garland of pink lotus flowers and white beads across his shoulders. A tall silver staff or spear stands to his left against a maroon curtain and carved reddish stone pillar. The gilded throne behind him is richly carved. The man, who appears to be seated and smiling, is described on the page as Swamiji, with appearance cues of an orange turban, jewelled headpiece, rudraksha mala and ornate garland matching a probable identification.
