A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair and a beard, seated on an ornate golden throne with a gilded sunburst backrest and carved golden lion heads, draped in a rust-red shawl over bare shoulders, with a white-and-red tilak on his forehead and hands folded in his lap. The leopard-print seat cushions and red drapery frame the seated figure. Probable Swamiji seated in a throne posture; the long swept-back hair, ornate gold throne, and rust-red draped garment are the qualifying cues. Nothing else is visible in the scene.
