A photograph on a stage at a formal event. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red tiger-striped cushions wears a white turban with a red bindi, a cream-coloured robe and a shawl, and a long white-and-red flower garland hangs around the neck. He smiles while holding a sheet of white paper. A young man in a white shirt and white trousers leans in from the left, bending toward him and offering a hand, with a red cord visible at his neck. Flower arrangements in orange and white decorate the throne back, and a small ornate brass staff stands on the left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a white turban, a long hair and a cream robe with a shawl, and is seated on a gold throne; these cues are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji but the face is not used for identification.
