A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate golden throne with a radiant sunburst backdrop, wearing a leopard-print turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a long garland of marigolds and red and white flowers, layered gold necklaces, and rust-red robes. He holds a silver staff topped with a small bull figure in his raised right hand, and golden lion-like figures flank the throne. Swamiji (probable) is shown seated in this regal pose, with long swept-back hair beneath the turban and ornate gold jewellery serving as the appearance cues.
