A photograph of a saffron-clad man wearing an orange turban and a rudraksha-style necklace, standing beside a large ornate throne draped in dark red quilted velvet and heavily garlanded with orange, white, yellow and green marigold and flower strands. He reaches toward the throne with a smiling expression. A man in white dress and a white turban stands at left, and a golden ceremonial staff is visible at right under a yellow and maroon canopy. Carved wooden lion or elephant figures flank the seat. The appearance of the saffron-clad figure is consistent with Swamiji (probable), with cues of orange turban, saffron robes and ceremonial garlands.
