Close-up photo of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and figural relief. He wears a tall black turban-style headdress adorned with a silver crescent and a silver ornament, a white tilak with a red bindi, and a saffron-red shawl draped over bare shoulders. Multiple rudraksha malas and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with pendant hang on his chest, and gold bangles are on his wrist. He holds a bundle of green leaves in his left hand. Gold drapery forms the background. Given the page's identification of Swamiji and the qualifying cues of turban, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron shawl, this is a probable in-person appearance of Swamiji seated on a throne.
