Photograph of a bare-shouldered man seated on an ornate silver throne with a red cushion, raising a silver ceremonial staff topped with a leaf-shaped finial in his right hand. He wears a long-haired style, a red tilak on his forehead, a dark maroon-brown wrap, an orange and white flower garland, gold necklaces, red and gold bangles on both arms and a gold ring. Behind him a silver ornamental pedestal stands at left, and blurred seated devotees fill the background. Probable Swamiji seated on a throne with ceremonial staff, identified by appearance cues of long hair, floral garland and ornate ceremonial clothing.
