A photograph of a single seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat and red tiger-striped side cushions. He sits cross-legged with hands folded in his lap, wearing a gold embroidered sherwani-style kurta over pale blue dhoti-like trousers and a gold shawl draped over his shoulder. He has long dark hair and a red bindi. The throne is framed by an arch of yellow, orange-red and green flower garlands. Behind him are a checkered woven wall panel and small red ornaments, and a purple balloon appears at upper right. A decorative stand with a cartoon rabbit figure is at left. Probable Swamiji by his long hair, ornate gold-and-saffron-toned clothing and shawl, seated on a throne in the role of a teacher.
