A man with long swept-back dark hair, a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a dark beard sits on an ornate silver throne with a carved sun-face motif, wearing a rust-brown wrap and a multi-strand garland of pink lotus flowers and gold beads. A tall silver staff with a decorative finial stands at the left, and a colourful embroidered backdrop of red, gold and purple hangs behind him. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rust-brown wrap, lotus garland and throne presentation are the qualifying cues, and he is physically present in the photograph.
