A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a gold arched backrest, wearing a tiger-striped yellow and black top, a long white pearl mala, and a rust-brown wrap, smiling and holding a yellow flower and beads. Two devotees kneel before him on a red-draped stage: one in a white dhoti with an orange sash and an orange cloth, the other in white with a striped border. Behind the throne stand a peacock feather fan, a trident and a deity murti with a raised hand, and a brass lamp stand with a bird finial at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a bindi, pearl mala and ornate clothing, matching the page's reference to Swamiji.
