A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a red-draped platform before an ornate gilded arched throne decorated with carved lions and a garland border of red, yellow and white flowers. He wears an orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and body, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala with a gold ornament, gold bangles on both wrists, and a red bindi on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and his hands rest together in his lap with bare feet visible. A saffron cloth lies folded at the lower right. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ornate gold jewellery, seated on a gilded throne.
