A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, draped in saffron-orange robes and smiling. The throne is decorated with marigold and rose garlands and sits before a red and gold patterned backdrop. Two men in casual shirts stand at left, one offering a small object with both hands toward the seated figure. A second saffron-robed attendant stands at right holding a white cloth or paper. The setting resembles a padha pooja, a ritual of honouring feet. The seated man shows appearance cues of long swept-back hair and saffron robes, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate.
