A photograph of a smiling man seated on a maroon cushioned throne-like seat, wearing an ornate gold crown with jewelled stones and a red bindi on the forehead. He is draped in a white and red flower garland and an orange garment with a beaded brown-and-gold collar. Behind him stand a gold pole decorated with orange, pink and green tassels. At the left edge, a bare-chested attendant in orange cloth holds a ritual item over a tray. The scene suggests a ceremonial honouring; a Swamiji (probable) label applies only if the cues are sufficient, which here include the crown, orange clothing and garlands.
