A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate red velvet throne with gold carved armrests and a golden crown-like backrest decorated with yellow and purple flowers. He wears a cream turban with a red bindi on his forehead, a dark red and gold embroidered brocade kurta with a heavy gold necklace, and green striped trousers. He sits cross-legged with his hands clasped in his lap. Green leaves and red and yellow fruit hang behind him, and white flower garlands lie at the bottom of the frame. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a turban, ornate ceremonial gold necklaces and rich brocade, and sits on a throne, matching the page's note of Swamiji present at the event.
